Experimental Treatment
Group I: Single arm pilotExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The micro-randomized trial will determine if CBT and Mindfulness/ACT messages are superior to control messages in reducing the primary outcome momentary smoking urges. Based on participants' training data collected in the initial 14 days of EMA monitoring, intervention messages will be delivered during time-periods and at high-risk locations for smoking. In the intervention phase, participants will be prompted to complete 3 geofence-triggered EMAs per day for a total of 30 days. Each EMA will be followed by an intervention message and the type of message (CBT, Mindfulness/ACT, control) will be randomly selected at each time point (within-subject randomization).
