Official title
Feasibility of Cue-based Treatment Intervention to Promote Cessation Among People Who Smoke Lightly (≤10 Cigarettes Per Day) or Non-daily
Overview
This study aims to test the feasibility and acceptability of a remotely delivered cue-based treatment intervention to promote smoking cessation among people who smoke lightly or non-daily. Secondary objectives include assessing preliminary efficacy on cessation and examining cue reactivity. Participants will be randomized to CBT only or CBT + cue-based treatment, with assessments at baseline, end-of-treatment, 6 months, and 12 months.
Interventions
- Behavioral Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT delivered via telehealth sessions and supportive text messages. - Behavioral Cue-based treatment intervention
Cue-based treatment includes exposure to smoking-related cues and coping strategies.
Primary outcome measures
- Feasibility as measured by the number of participants who are recruited and randomized [Time frame: During the recruitment period (up to 9 months)]
- Feasibility as measured by the number of participants who respond to pre-quit real-time data collection [Time frame: End of treatment (up to 12 months)]
- Feasibility as measured by the number of participants who take pictures of smoking/craving situations [Time frame: End of treatment (up to 12 months)]
- Feasibility as measured by the number of participants who complete all CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) sessions [Time frame: End of treatment (up to 12 months)]
- Feasibility as measured by the number of participants who complete all cue-based treatment sessions [Time frame: End of treatment (up to 12 months)]
- Feasibility as measured by the number of participants who respond to EMA text based assessments [Time frame: End of treatment (up to 12 months)]
- Feasibility as measured by the number of participants who proactively text to report cravings [Time frame: End of treatment (up to 12 months)]
- Acceptability of CBT + cue-based treatment intervention compared to CBT only [Time frame: End of treatment (up to 12 months)]
Secondary outcome measures (6)
- Number of participants reporting the presence of smoking cues [Time frame: 7 days after end of each CBT session (4 sessions total)]
- Craving level [Time frame: 7 days after end of each CBT session (4 sessions total)]
- Stress level [Time frame: 7 days after end of each CBT session (4 sessions total)]
- Current mood [Time frame: 7 days after end of each CBT session (4 sessions total)]
- Number of participants who reported 30-day point prevalence abstinence [Time frame: End of Treatment, 6 months]
- Smoking status as measured by salivary cotinine [Time frame: End of Treatment, 6 months]
