Sponsor: Massachusetts General Hospital
Conditions: Smoking Cessation
Interventions: Smiling instead of Smoking - HIV, QuitGuide
Countries: United States
The present study is a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) that seeks to test the feasibility, acceptability, process outcomes, and exploratory outcomes of a newly integrated, app-based smoking cessation treatment (SiS-H, which stands for "Smiling instead of Smoking for people with HIV") for people with HIV who smoke. This treatment will be compared to onboarding to the National Cancer Institute's smartphone app "QuitGuide" (QG). Persons with HIV who smoke and are engaged in HIV clinical care (n=64) will be randomized (1:1) to smoking cessation support via SiS-H vs. "QuitGuide".
