New treatment option for Smoking Cessation
Official title A Culturally Tailored Smartphone Application for African American Smokers
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05188287
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The overall objectives of this research proposal, are to (a) create a smartphone application for smoking cessation (i.e., HealthyCells), which will be achieved by integrating two pre-existing evidence-based smartphone interventions, (b) create culturally tailored treatment content (i.e., messages, images, and videos) for African American smokers, and (c) evaluate the feasibility of HealthyCells at addressing smoking and sedentary behavior among African Americans. A pilot sample of African American smokers (N = 15) will briefly use the HealthyCells app and provide critical feedback through semi-structured interviews to refine the smartphone intervention.
