Effectiveness of an offer of the Smoke Free smartphone application for smoking cessation: protocol for a randomised controlled trial.
Addiction 2019 May 14
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Smartphone applications (apps) hold promise for delivering tobacco smoking cessation support to large numbers of people at low unit cost. Smoke Free is an evidence-informed, widely-used app that is highly rated by users. This study aims to assess its effectiveness compared with no support.
DESIGN: Two-arm individually randomised controlled effectiveness trial.
SETTING: Online trial with no restrictions on location.
PARTICIPANTS: English-speaking smokers aged ≥18 years willing to make a quit attempt within 4 weeks from initial contact (n=4,990).
MEASUREMENTS: The primary outcome measure is self-reported 26-week continuous smoking abstinence. Secondary outcome measures include quit attempts in the first 4 weeks post-randomisation, 12-week continuous smoking abstinence, and 26-week continuous smoking abstinence among those who made a quit attempt.
COMMENTS: If it is effective, the Smoke Free smartphone app is an affordable and widely implementable intervention to help smokers to quit.
