Rationale, design, and protocol for a hybrid type 1 effectiveness-implementation trial of a proactive smoking cessation electronic visit for scalable delivery via primary care: the E-STOP trial.

Background: Cigarette smoking remains the leading cause of preventable disease and death in the United States. Primary care offers an ideal setting to reach adults who smoke cigarettes and improve uptake of evidence-based cessation treatment. Although U.

Remote Carbon Monoxide Capture via REDCap: Evaluation of an Integrated Mobile Application.

Introduction: To improve the feasibility of remote biochemical verification of smoking status, our team developed "COast," a mobile app integrated with REDCap that allows a research participant to complete self-report research assessments and provide a breath sample via the iCOQuit Smokerlyzer for the purposes of carbon monoxide (CO) testing. The aims of the present study were to examine (1) the validity of remote CO data capture using COast as compared to gold-standard approaches (salivary cotinine, stand-alone CO monitor) and (2) the feasibility of remote CO data capture using COast as applied to both daily and weekly CO collection schedules.

Methods: Participants (N = 143, 59% Female), including recently quit (n = 36) and current (n = 107) smokers, completed a baseline video session to capture validity data, and then were randomized to daily or weekly CO monitoring for a period of 1 month.

Behavioral Activation-Based Digital Smoking Cessation Intervention for Individuals With Depressive Symptoms: Randomized Clinical Trial.

Background: Depression is common among adults who smoke cigarettes. Existing depression-specific cessation interventions have limited reach and are unlikely to improve smoking prevalence rates among this large subgroup of smokers.

Objective: This study aimed to determine whether a mobile app-based intervention tailored for depression paired with a mailed sample of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is efficacious for treating depression and promoting smoking cessation.

Electronic cigarette dependence and demand among pod mod users as a function of smoking status.

Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use continues to proliferate with fast-paced product evolution. Pod mod e-cigarettes emerged in the market in 2015 and have changed the tobacco landscape again. However, little is known regarding their addiction potential among users.
