Study protocol: Using ecological momentary assessment and wearable sensors to examine mechanisms linking sleep and smoking cessation among adults who are socioeconomically disadvantaged.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cigarette smoking is highly concentrated among individuals with lower socioeconomic status (SES) who often lack access to smoking cessation services. Thus, smoking cessation in lower SES adults remains a critical public health concern that warrants further study and attention. Smokers attempting to quit are at the highest risk for lapse within the first weeks of their quit attempt, and an initial lapse is highly likely to lead to full relapse. It is essential to identify and understand behavioral factors that may increase or decrease the likelihood of successful smoking cessation among lower SES adults during a quit attempt (pre-and post-quit).
