Cigarette Smoking
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a digital, incentive-based program, used in conjunction with traditional quitline (QL) services, can be beneficial to quitline callers who smoke menthol cigarettes. The services evaluated focus on coaching, support, and/or incentives for individuals who wish to quit smoking.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALQuitline (QL)
QL services include scheduled and on-demand phone and digital interactions with a coach, as well as optional ancillary services and nicotine replacement therapy by mail.
BEHAVIORALMobile incentive-based intervention
The app-based intervention incentivizes participants for daily check-ins, smoking cessation, and QL calls. Participants also receive encouragement to set a smoking quit date from a study interventionist and receive motivational messages in the app.
