May 10, 2023 updated by: H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute

Applying mHealth to Tobacco-related Health Disparities: Enhancing Aspects of Resiliency to Aid Cessation Efforts (Time2Quit)

The purpose of this study is to better understand what happens when someone attempts to quit smoking.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Investigators will provide participants with nicotine patches, smoking cessation treatment that will include brief counseling sessions (10-15 minutes each), and text messages sent to their provided study phone throughout the day. These messages will be short (1-3 minutes long) and will ask participants to do things like focus on the present moment, pay attention to their breathing, and be aware of their current thoughts. Participants will be asked to wear equipment throughout the day that will measure their physiology and smoking behavior. Mobile Health (mHealth) is a general term for the use of mobile phones and other wireless technology in medical care.

The key outcome and hypothesized mechanisms (i.e., lapse and stress) will be measured objectively and automatically using AutoSense. AutoSense is a type of human sensing technology that allows investigators to detect smoking behavior and stress objectively through a chest strap and wrist bands worn by participants. Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) will assess acute precipitants such as negative affect, craving, self-efficacy, motivation, alcohol consumption, etc. Questionnaires will assess other predictors and mechanisms.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Prevention
  • Allocation: N/A
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Smoking Cessation Therapy
Participants will receive 6 weeks of the nicotine patch therapy and brief counseling sessions. Participants will also receive mindfulness strategies for 10 days during both the pre- and post-quit periods via smartphone to aid in their cessation attempt. AutoSense will be worn to detect stress and lapse throughout the 10 day period.
Drug: Nicotine Patch
Nicotine patches and thorough education of the indications for the patch will be provided to all participants.
Behavioral: Counseling
Brief counseling sessions, 10-15 minutes each.
Behavioral: Smartphone
Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) assesses participants' moment-to-moment subjective experiences via self-report assessments on a smart phone. Participants will receive mindfulness strategies for 10 days pre- and post-quit via smart phone to aid in their cessation attempt. Text messages will be sent to provided study phones throughout the day. These messages will be short (1-3 minutes long) and will ask participants to do things like focus on the present moment, pay attention to their breathing, and be aware of their current thoughts.
Other: AutoSense
Participants will be asked to wear equipment throughout the day that will measure their physiology and smoking behavior. AutoSense unobtrusively and objectively collects physiological and behavioral data (i.e., negative affect (NA), self-regulatory capacity (SRC), and smoking) via wearable chest and wrist sensors.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
