Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a Mobile Mindfulness Training smartphone application on smoking cessation in smokers ages 18 to 65 years.
Detailed Description
In this study, a pilot phase will be carried out first to test feasibility and engagement of the tested intervention. Then in the randomized control trial, subjects will be randomly assigned to receive one of two treatments: (1) a standard smartphone application to support smokers working to become quit-free, or (2) the tested intervention, an app that trains mindfulness for smoking cessation. The primary endpoint of interest will be 1-week point prevalence abstinence at end of treatment, and at 3 and 6 months follow-up for individuals.
