My Mobile Advice Program: A Randomized Pilot Feasibility Study (MyMAP)

October 11, 2017 updated by: Kaiser Permanente

Internet-based Medication Adherence Program for Nicotine Dependence Treatment

The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of the proposed smoking cessation intervention (called MyMAP or My Mobile Advice Program).

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Investigators will develop and pilot test a prototype of the MyMAP intervention.The intervention is designed to help smokers better manage issues known to reduce treatment adherence (withdrawal symptoms, medication side-effects, low motivation, and inadequate behavioral skills for medication adherence) and to facilitate greater communication between patients and providers so clinicians can provide appropriate oversight of medication use, intervene when medically necessary, and address patient concerns that may otherwise lead to non-adherence or early treatment termination.
