mHealth Interventions for Smoking Cessation
(Project mFLi Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
Despite the deleterious impact of smoking upon cancer treatment outcomes, smoking prevalence remains alarmingly high among cancer patients. Thus, reducing smoking by cancer patients is a public health priority, but treatments to date have demonstrated limited efficacy. Mobile health (mHealth) interventions have the potential to improve treatment efficacy while also greatly extending reach. The goal of this infrastructure proposal is to build a resource to facilitate the creation of mHealth tools that address the tobacco treatment needs of cancer patients. This resource, which will be available to researchers throughout Florida, would fill a critical gap in mHealth capacity.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications.
Is mHealth for smoking cessation safe for humans?
How is the mHealth treatment for smoking cessation different from other treatments?
The mHealth treatment for smoking cessation is unique because it uses smartphone apps to provide counseling and motivation, making it easily accessible and convenient for users, especially young adults who frequently use smartphones. This approach leverages technology to offer personalized support and guidance, which is different from traditional methods like in-person counseling or medication.56789
