Remote Interventions for Menthol Cigarette Use

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a digital, incentive-based program, used in conjunction with traditional quitline (QL) services, can be beneficial to quitline callers who smoke menthol cigarettes. The services evaluated focus on coaching, support, and/or incentives for individuals who wish to quit smoking.

Treatment and study plan

Quitline (QL)

QL services include scheduled and on-demand phone and digital interactions with a coach, as well as optional ancillary services and nicotine replacement therapy by mail.

Mobile incentive-based intervention

Behavioral

The app-based intervention incentivizes participants for daily check-ins, smoking cessation, and QL calls. Participants also receive encouragement to set a smoking quit date from a study interventionist and receive motivational messages in the app.

Primary outcomes

  1. Smoking Cessation

    Time frame: 3-, 6-, 9- and 12- months post baseline

    Participants will self-report (yes/no) past 30-day combustible tobacco use.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Smoking Cessation With Lapses

    Time frame: 3-, 6-, 9- and 12- months post baseline

    Participants will self-report of cessation from combustible tobacco products, with the exception of up to 5 cigarettes (lapses), since 2 weeks after their quit date (i.e., 2 week "grace period").
