Brief summary
This study will evaluate the comparative effectiveness of three smoking cessation therapies: mobile health (mHealth) application iCanQuit, mHealth application iCanQuit + Motiv8, and the Florida quit line.
Detailed description
The research team will recruit 1,332 adult patients who smoke from primary care clinics in North Central Florida, focusing on: (a) the relative effectiveness of the 3 treatments in adult patients who smoke cigarettes, in underserved urban and rural primary care settings. The team will assign patients by chance to one of the 3 treatments. Smoking cessation will be confirmed with a breath test (measured at 2, 6, and 12 months). The study will measure the effects of these treatments in based on gender, race, ethnicity, rurality, and social vulnerability; (b) their effects on patients' quality of life, self-confidence in quitting, and satisfaction with the treatments; and (c) their impact on patients' reported levels of motivation, commitment to values, and acceptance of triggers for smoking.
Interventions
iCanQuit is a smoking cessation smart phone application that uses acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) approach, a cognitive behavioral treatment
iCanQuit + Motiv8 is a integrated version of iCanQuit (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy smoking cessation therapy application) with Motiv8 (a contingency management program that rewards decreased smoking determined by measuring CO levels of participant)
An evidence-based, existing smoking cessation healthcare option recommended by the U.S. clinical practice that connects active smokers to trained quit coaches via referral by their providers.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Smoking Point-Prevalence Abstinence (PPA) | Month 6 | negative CO breath sample ≤ 5 ppm using an iCO monitor, and self-reported abstinence from smoking in the last 7 days |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Smoking Point-Prevalence Abstinence (PPA) | Months 2 and 12 | negative CO breath sample ≤ 5 ppm using an iCO monitor, and self-reported abstinence from smoking in the last 7 days |
| Treatment Satisfaction | Month 12 | 5-item scale measuring treatment by interest, usefulness, concern with privacy, how easy to understand, and satisfaction. Items will be measured on a 0-10 point scale, with higher scores corresponding to greater acceptability. |
| Quality of Life and Well-Being | Baseline, and month 6 | World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF): 26-item scale that measures quality of life. Items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale (low score of 1 to high score of 5), with a higher score indicating a higher quality of life. |
| Self Efficacy | Baseline, and month 6 | Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (SEQ-12): 12-item scale. Items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale (low score of 1 to high score of 5), with higher scores indicating greater self-efficacy. |
| Acceptance | Months 2 and 6 | 9-item physical sensations subscale of the Avoidance and Inflexibility Scale. Items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale (low score of 1 to high score of 5), with higher scores reflecting more inflexibility/avoidance in the presence of difficult smoking-related thoughts, feelings, and sensations. |
| Values | Months 2 and 6 | Valuing Questionnaire (VQ): 10-item measure assessing the extent to which one lives consistently with their values, including Progress and Obstruction subscales. Both subscales total scores range from 0 to 30. A psychologically healthier score is indicated by a higher score on the Progress scale along with a lower score on the Obstructions scale. |
| Motivation | Months 2 and 6 | Motivational Engagement Questionnaire: 5-item measure. Items are rated on a 7-point Likert scale (low score of 1 to high score of 7), with higher scores indicating more motivation to quit smoking. |
| Smoking Prolonged Abstinence | Months 6 and 12 | Self-reported abstinence from the date of the last time a cigarette was smoked. |
