Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: NRT + QuitBuddy-RecallExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
This smartphone app will identify high-risk situations through retrospective recall of locations where the patient typically smoked. Hotspot maps will provide interactive visualizations of relapse risk. GPS triggered NRT/behavioral prompts will occur when participants come within 50m from the centroid of a hotspot.
Group II: NRT + QuitBuddyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
This smartphone app will identify high-risk situations through real-time EMA data collected before and during a quit attempt. One week of pre-quit smoking behaviors will be integrated with passively sensed GPS data to create hotspot maps. Hotspot maps will provide interactive visualizations of relapse risk. GPS triggered NRT/behavioral prompts will occur when participants come within 50m from the centroid of a hotspot.
Group III: NRT Control (treatment as usual)Active Control1 Intervention
Standard Care Control is intended to approximate the real-world experience where smokers obtain over-the-counter NRT and, after brief instructions at the outset (~1 lozenge per hour, during cravings, and <20 per day), determine usage for themselves.
