Overview
The purpose of the study is to develop a new quit-smoking treatment among individuals with a cancer diagnosis using a smartphone app.
Detailed description
The study aims to test the feasibility and acceptability of the smartphone app we developed in conjunction with face-to-face brief cessation counseling and nicotine replacement therapy in a two-arm randomized controlled trial.
Interventions
- Behavioral Mindfulness
Participants will complete 4 counseling sessions (30 minutes), download and use a smartphone app for 4 weeks, complete 4 online surveys (baseline, quit date, end of treatment, and 3-month follow-up), and a brief phone call at the end of treatment to provide feedback. Participants will use the app every day to complete daily diaries and ecological momentary assessments (EMAs), receive brief mindful skills, and practice formal mindfulness meditations (5-30 minutes). Participants will also be provi - Behavioral Quitline
Participants will be referred to Quitline to receive standard care smoking cessation treatment, including counseling and nicotine patches. Participants will complete 4 online surveys (baseline, quit date, end of treatment, and 3-month follow-up) and a brief phone call at the end of treatment to provide feedback. Participants will use the app every day to complete daily diaries.
