简要总结
This trial studies how well APPSPIRE, a smartphone app, works in preventing students from smoking. Technology-driven intervention programs, such as the APPSPIRE app, have the potential to increase access to health behavior treatments and therapies, such as tobacco cessation support, and provide effective prevention messaging.
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Develop a prototype of the APPSPIRE (phone application [app] of a smoking prevention interactive experience).
II. At post assessment, students enrolled in the study will qualitatively provide information about the usability and usefulness for the prevention and cessation sites.
III. Investigate frequency of use of and exposure to APPSPIRE modules via an objective measure of general use.
IV. Investigate how feasible the program will be. V. Obtain a maintained use of APPSPIRE with high completeness and extent of completion.

结局指标
主要结局
The Feasibility of the tobacco control program.
时间窗: Up to 4 months
Feasibly will be measured by multiplying the variable of two concepts: ease of use and ability to fit the program into routine schedules.
The Completeness with the Percentages of Participants surveyed.
时间窗: Up to 4 months
Completeness will be measured as the percentage of participants who continue to use AppSPIRE until the 4 month follow up survey.
Frequency of APPSPIRE application (app) use
时间窗: Up to 4 months
Will be measured in minutes per day and with descriptive statistics. Will measure using mean, median and standard deviation for continuous variables.
The extent of completion for the modules AppSPIRE.
时间窗: Up to 4 months
The extent of completion includes the various modules of AppSPIRE. High extent of completion is obtained if 75% of the participants have completed all modules of AppSPIRE.
The Stages of the Change Scale
时间窗: Baseline up to 4 months
A validated measure, The Stages of Change Scale, will be used to clarify smokers into 3 categories: pre-contemplation, contemplation and preparation.
