Can a smartphone application help Hispanic/Latinx adults quit smoking? A randomized trial secondary analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

There are no known efficacious digital smoking cessation interventions for Hispanic/Latinx adults who smoke. This study is a secondary analysis using data from a randomized trial to evaluate whether Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) delivered via a smartphone app (iCanQuit) would be more efficacious for smoking cessation than the US Clinical Practice (USCPG)-based app (QuitGuide) in a sample of Hispanic/Latinx participants.

Methods

A total of 210 Hispanic/Latinx adults who smoke were randomized to receive the iCanQuit or QuitGuide app for 12-months. Participants self-reported on 30-day abstinence from cigarette smoking at the 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month follow-ups; 7-day abstinence at all follow-ups; abstinence from other nicotine/tobacco products at 12
