This study will use wearable technology to test the feasibility and efficacy of delivering a novel real-time smoking intervention to improve standard tobacco treatment.
The goals of this project include evaluating the feasibility, acceptability, and helpfulness of the real-time smoking intervention and to assess the preliminary efficacy of the real-time intervention as an adjunct to standard tobacco treatment. Rates of adherence, participant satisfaction, and perceived usefulness will be evaluated through post-treatment interviews and ratings. Biochemically confirmed 7-day point prevalence abstinence will be compared between the experimental and control groups at the end of treatment (week 8).
