Brief Summary:
The proposed project aims to refine and test a novel biobehavioral smoking cessation intervention that integrates the strategic application of olfactory stimulation to reduce cigarette craving with an established smartphone-based smoking cessation application. The specific aims of this study are: (1) refine the design and methodology of our olfactory stimulation delivery system (OSDS) and (2) compare, in a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT), the effects of a smartphone based app for smoking cessation (Smart-T) with and without the OSDS on smoking cessation outcomes.
Detailed Description:
The objective of the current trial is to refine a novel biobehavioral smoking cessation intervention that integrates the strategic application of olfactory stimulation to reduce cigarette cravings (olfactory stimulation delivery system; OSDS) and then to test the OSDS as an adjunctive support for smoking cessation when integrated with an established smartphone-based smoking cessation application (Smart-T).
The study will be conducted in two phases. Phase I will consist of a crossover, micro-randomized controlled trial to inform methodology for odor administration and examine the effects of OSDS on craving reduction. Treatment-seeking smokers (N=32) will engage in a self-guided quit attempt and use the OSDS for 14 days. Using a crossover randomization design, participants will complete 7 days of ad libitum OSDS use and 7 days of instructed OSDS use. Participants will complete an initial online pre-screener, an enrollment call, a baseline survey via the app, a randomization call, and 5 daily EMAs during the study. At the end of Phase I, participants will complete a qualitative interview over Zoom and a quantitative survey in the app to assess their experiences. Phase II will be a RCT in which participants (N=100) will be randomized to either (1) Smart-T with a nicotine patch (Smart-T) or (2) Smart-T with a nicotine patch and OSDS as an adjunctive feature (Smart-T+O). Participants will complete a baseline assessment, daily EMAs for 13 weeks (1-week pre-quit and 12 weeks post-quit), a follow-up assessment at 12 weeks post-quit via the app, and a qualitative interview over Zoom. All participants will have access to Smart-T intervention materials for smoking cessation. Smoking status will be biochemically verified at multiple time points using a Carbon Monoxide monitor, which will be mailed to participants along with usage instructions.
