What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to assess the efficacy of Actívatexto (Aim 1) and the mediators of the presumed treatment effect (Aim 2) among Latino adults who smoke. Actívatexto is a mobile intervention that integrates four components: 1) a text messaging program that promotes both smoking cessation and physical activity, 2) wearable devices to monitor physical activity, 3) smoking cessation pharmacotherapy [i.e., nicotine replacement therapies (NRT)], and 4) an online dashboard where the research team manages participants' incoming and outgoing data from both the text messaging program and wearable devices.
