The overall goal of this pilot study is to solicit feedback from nondaily smokers looking for smoking cessation support online (n=90) about Version 2 of a smartphone app investigators designed to support smoking cessation, and to test if within-person theorized mechanisms of change are occurring as participants undergo the app-assisted quit attempt. Data sources will be passively collected smartphone app usage data, surveys and, in a sub-sample (n=20), online video-conference user feedback sessions. Results will be used to guide the design of Version 3.0 of the "Smiling Instead of Smoking" (SiS) smartphone app. Specifically, the aims of this study are to:
An estimated 90 participants will participate in this study based on the following eligibility criteria: (a) 18+ years of age, (b) smartphone ownership (c) current nondaily smoker, who smokes at least weekly, and no more than 25 out of the past 30 days (i.e., 71% of nondaily smokers), and (d) has current quit intention (i.e., 65-74% of nondaily smokers). Investigators will stop enrollment when n=90 participants have completed the primary endpoint of the study, which is the 6-week follow-up. This study will be conducted entirely remotely and will require a screening process prior to enrolling participants on the app.
Study participation will last 6 months, where surveys will be administered prior to the quit day (online, as part of a screening test), and at 2-week, 6-week, 3-month, and 6-month follow-ups of the participant's chosen quit day. Participants will use the app for a strongly encouraged period of 7 weeks (1 week before, 6 weeks following the quit attempt), and optional continued use thereafter.
Participants will complete two types of assessment: (1) surveys, and (2) (in a sub-sample) user feedback sessions conducted via phone and/or video-conference call. Potential participants will click-through to the study website. This website will explain that participants must call study staff in order to be phone-screened and to participate in the study. During the phone-screen, participants will be directed to complete an online survey via REDCap. If participants complete the survey and pass the screening test (e.g., correctly responding to reading-check items in the online survey), they choose a smoking cessation quit day, and schedule a phone call with study staff to enroll in the study. This enrollment phone call occurs 1 week prior to the chosen quit day. During this call, study staff will provide the link to download the app, and provide participants with an app-walkthrough. Thereafter, participants will receive survey links for 2-week, 6-week, 3-month and 6-month follow-ups via an emailed link.
Participation in the user feedback session is optional. Within the baseline survey, participants will be asked if they would be willing to participate in an online video-conference user feedback session after they have used the app for seven weeks (1 week pre, 6 weeks post their chosen smoking quit day). If selected for the online user feedback sessions (selected at random from interested participants, with stratification based on gender, age, and race/ethnicity), participants will receive an email and/or phone call upon completing their 6-week survey to set up the user feedback session.
The online user feedback sessions (n=20) will consist of the participants, and 1-2 members of the study staff. Relatively little guidance will be provided in this setting. Instead, 4 open-ended questions will be posed (i.e., did the app help you in your quit attempt? What did you like? What did you dislike? How could the app be improved?). All conference calls will be recorded for later analysis.
Sample size and Power Considerations: The primary goal of this study is to gather qualitative input rather than data to detect a pre-specified effect. The goal of this pilot study is to get input from app users who are interacting with the app and study staff completely remotely, without the benefit of in-person interaction, which is closer to the real-world experience potential users would have than the participants in Study 1.
Planned Analyses:
Aim 1 (Ease-of-use and usefulness). To assess the degree to which SiS Version 2 is easy to use and perceived as useful by nondaily smokers attempting to quit smoking, investigators will use the Week 6 survey data, and will calculate means and standard deviations for the survey items querying ease of use and usefulness for each feature of the app.
Aim 2 (Within-person changes). To test if nondaily smokers utilizing SiS Version 2 experienced changes over time on constructs theorized to underlie smoking cessation, investigators will use the online survey data and fit one repeated measures mixed effects model per construct of interest (i.e., desire to smoke, mood, self-efficacy to quit/stay quit, motivation, outcome expectancies such as pros/cons, stress, coping), where the construct will be the dependent variable, and time (0=baseline, 1=2-week, 2=6-week, 3=3-month, 4=6-month) will be the predictor. Correlations over time will be modeled with an unstructured covariance matrix. The primary endpoint is 6 weeks post quit (i.e., end of treatment). A contrast statement will be used to compare baseline versus 6-week follow-up. Given the explorative nature of this study, investigators will not correct for multiple testing.
Aim 3 (Identify app features in need of improvement). To identify features of the app that are in need of improvement, investigators will examine the passively generated app usage data generated by study participants as they undergo their quit attempts, and will generate descriptive summary statistics on these usage data. To gain deeper insight, investigators will also conduct user feedback sessions with a randomly selected subsample of participants.

| Baseline, 2-weeks, and 6-weeks post-quit |
| Within-person Changes in Theorized Mechanism of Behavior Change - Single-item Urges Measure | Single-item measure: "Right now, how strong is your desire/urge to smoke?". This single-item measure was rated on a scale of "0, not at all strong" to "100, extremely strong", so that higher scores indicate stronger smoking urges. | Baseline, 2-weeks, and 6-weeks post-quit |
| Within-person Changes in Theorized Mechanism of Behavior Change - Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (Watson et al., 1988) | This 20-item scale measures positive and negative. Participants were asked to indicate how they felt in the past week, using a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1="very slightly or not at all" to 5="extremely." Scores for 10 positive words and 10 negative words were summed separately and were reported as mean scores (not scale totals) ranging from 1-5, with lower scores indicating low (positive or negative) affect and higher scores indicating high (positive or negative) affect. The 10 items for POSITIVE (PA) affect are attentive, interested, alert, excited, enthusiastic, inspired, proud, determined, strong, and active. The 10 items for NEGATIVE (NA) affect are distressed, upset, hostile, irritable, scared, afraid, ashamed, guilty, nervous, and jittery. | Baseline, 2-weeks, and 6-weeks post-quit |
| Within-person Changes in Theorized Mechanism of Behavior Change - Subjective Happiness Scale (Lyubomirsky & Lepper, 1999) | This 4-item scale assesses global subjective happiness. Each question is rated on a Likert-scale of 1-7. Scale scores were reported as mean scores in this study, with higher scores indicating higher subjective happiness. | Baseline, 2-weeks, and 6-weeks post-quit |
| Within-person Changes in Theorized Mechanism of Behavior Change - Single-item Happiness Measures | Two single-item happiness measures were used: "In the PAST WEEK, how happy have you felt?" and "How happy are you feeling RIGHT NOW?". Both items were rated on slider scales ranging from 0="not at all" to 100="extremely", such that higher scores indicate greater levels of happiness. | Baseline, 2-weeks, and 6-weeks post-quit |
| Within-person Changes in Theorized Mechanism of Behavior Change - Self-Efficacy to Abstain From Smoking Questionnaire (Etter et al., 2000) | The 12-item Smoking Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (SEQ-12) assesses confidence to abstain from smoking when faced with internal stimuli (6 items; e.g., when I feel very anxious) and external stimuli (6 items; e.g., after a meal). Items were assessed on slider scales ranging from 0="not at all confident" to 100="extremely confident" and results are presented as mean scale scores, where higher scores indicate greater self-efficacy to abstain from smoking. | Baseline, 2-weeks, and 6-weeks post-quit |
| Within-person Changes in Theorized Mechanism of Behavior Change - Single-item Self-efficacy Measure | The single-item self-efficacy measure asked: "How CONFIDENT are you that you will be able to quit smoking/stay quit?" This item was measured on a slider scale ranging from 0="not at all" to 100="extremely confident", so that higher scores indicate greater confidence in the ability to quit smoking or stay quit. | Baseline, 2-weeks, and 6-weeks post-quit |
| Within-person Changes in Theorized Mechanism of Behavior Change - Single-item Motivation to Quit Measure | The single-item self-efficacy measure asked: "How MOTIVATED are you to quit smoking/ stay quit?" This item was measured on a slider scale ranging from 0="not at all" to 100="extremely motivated", where higher scores indicate a greater motivation to quit smoking or stay quit. | Baseline, 2-weeks, and 6-weeks post-quit |
| Within-person Changes in Theorized Mechanism of Behavior Change - Attitudes Towards Smoking Scale (Etter et al., 2000) | The 18-item Attitudes Towards Smoking (ATS-18) scale measures attitudes towards smoking in current and former cigarette smokers. It was rated on a 5-point Likert scale, from 1="strongly disagree" to 5="strongly agree.". The ATS-18 has 3 sub-scales: Adverse effects of smoking (items 1-10), psychoactive benefits of smoking (items 11-14), and pleasure of smoking (items 15-18). To score, all items per sub-scale were averaged to obtain a mean score within each sub-scale. For each sub-scale, higher scores indicate greater agreement with the specific attitude towards smoking. | Baseline, 2-weeks, and 6-weeks post-quit |
| Within-person Changes in Theorized Mechanism of Behavior Change - Commitment to Quitting Scale (Kahler et al., 2007) | The Commitment to Quitting Smoking Scale (CQSS) asks participants to rate their level of agreement (Likert scale, 1="strongly disagree" to 5="strongly agree") on 8-items assessing motivation to quit smoking (e.g., I'm not going to let anything get in the way of my quitting smoking). Scale scores are reported as the average of all items, where higher scores indicate a greater commitment to quitting smoking. | Baseline, 2-weeks, and 6-weeks post-quit |
| Within-person Changes in Theorized Mechanism of Behavior Change - Decisional Balance Inventory (DBI) for Smoking Short Form (Ward et al., 2004) | This 6-item form assesses the personal importance people place on positive and negative smoking expectancies. Items were rated on slider scales ranging from 0="not at all important" to 100="extremely important." Two sub-scale mean scores were calculated: positive expectancies (3 items), and negative smoking expectancies (3 items). On both scales, higher scores indicate a greater importance of the smoking expectancies (positive or negative). | Baseline, 2-weeks, and 6-weeks post-quit |
| Within-person Changes in Theorized Mechanism of Behavior Change - Single-item Pros/Cons of Quitting Smoking Measures | Two single-item measures assessed the pros and cons of being smoke-free: (1) "Think about all the things you LIKE/LOVE about quitting/being smoke-free; taken together, how important are those things to you RIGHT NOW?" and (2) "Think about all the things you DISLIKE/HATE about quitting/being smoke-free; taken together, how important are those things to you RIGHT NOW?" Both single-item measures were rated on slider scales ranging from 0="not at all" to 100="extremely important", so that higher scores indicate a greater perceived importance of the pros and cons of being smoke-free, respectively. | Baseline, 2-weeks, and 6-weeks post-quit |
| Within-person Changes in Theorized Mechanism of Behavior Change - Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) (Cohen, 1983) | This 10-item scale assesses perceived stress during the past month. Items were rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0="Never" to 4="Very Often." The overall scale score is the total of all 10 items, of which 4 are reverse-coded, so that score totals can range from 0 to 40 with higher scores indicating greater levels of perceived stress. The PSS has two sub-scales that assess perceived helplessness (6 items) and perceived self-efficacy (4 items). Sub-scale scores were calculated as mean scores of all sub-scale items (sub-scale score ranges: 0-4), so that higher scores on the sub-scales indicate higher perceived helplessness or higher perceived self-efficacy, respectively. | Baseline, 2-weeks, and 6-weeks post-quit |
| Within-person Changes in Theorized Mechanism of Behavior Change - Brief Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced (Carver, 1997) | This 28-item scale assesses the use of 14 coping mechanisms. Each item was rated on a 4-point Likert-scale, where 1="I haven't been doing this at all", 2="I've been doing this a little bit", 3="I've been doing this a medium amount", and 4="I've been doing this a lot." Sub-scales consist of 2 items for each of 14 coping mechanisms with no reversals of coding: (1) Self-distraction, (2) active coping, (3) denial, (4) substance use, (5) use of emotional support, (6) use of instrumental support, (7) behavioral disengagement, (8) venting, (9) positive reframing, (10) planning, (11) humor, (12) acceptance, (13) religion, (14) self-blame. Sub-scale scores range from 2 to 8 with higher scores indicating more frequent use of each specific coping mechanism, regardless of whether they are considered adaptive or maladaptive. | Baseline, 2-weeks, and 6-weeks post-quit |
Participants were asked "Have you been abstinent during the past 30 days?" in follow-up to providing their current smoking status as "I do not smoke at all." The outcome is presented as a % of participants who self-reported 30-day point-prevalence smoking abstinence. Participants were assumed to be smoking if they did not complete surveys. |

| Secondary | Within-person Changes in Theorized Mechanism of Behavior Change - Self-Efficacy to Abstain From Smoking Questionnaire (Etter et al., 2000) | The 12-item Smoking Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (SEQ-12) assesses confidence to abstain from smoking when faced with internal stimuli (6 items; e.g., when I feel very anxious) and external stimuli (6 items; e.g., after a meal). Items were assessed on slider scales ranging from 0="not at all confident" to 100="extremely confident" and results are presented as mean scale scores, where higher scores indicate greater self-efficacy to abstain from smoking. | n=1 had incomplete baseline data, n=4 were missing Week 2 data, n=5 were missing Week 6 data | Posted | Mean | Standard Deviation | units on a scale | Baseline, 2-weeks, and 6-weeks post-quit |
|

|
| Secondary | Within-person Changes in Theorized Mechanism of Behavior Change - Single-item Self-efficacy Measure | The single-item self-efficacy measure asked: "How CONFIDENT are you that you will be able to quit smoking/stay quit?" This item was measured on a slider scale ranging from 0="not at all" to 100="extremely confident", so that higher scores indicate greater confidence in the ability to quit smoking or stay quit. | n=1 had incomplete baseline data, n=4 were missing Week 2 data, n=5 were missing Week 6 data | Posted | Mean | Standard Deviation | units on a scale | Baseline, 2-weeks, and 6-weeks post-quit |
|

|
|
| Secondary | Within-person Changes in Theorized Mechanism of Behavior Change - Single-item Motivation to Quit Measure | The single-item self-efficacy measure asked: "How MOTIVATED are you to quit smoking/ stay quit?" This item was measured on a slider scale ranging from 0="not at all" to 100="extremely motivated", where higher scores indicate a greater motivation to quit smoking or stay quit. | n=4 were missing Week 2 data, n=5 were missing Week 6 data | Posted | Mean | Standard Deviation | units on a scale | Baseline, 2-weeks, and 6-weeks post-quit |
|
|
|
|
| Secondary | Within-person Changes in Theorized Mechanism of Behavior Change - Attitudes Towards Smoking Scale (Etter et al., 2000) | The 18-item Attitudes Towards Smoking (ATS-18) scale measures attitudes towards smoking in current and former cigarette smokers. It was rated on a 5-point Likert scale, from 1="strongly disagree" to 5="strongly agree.". The ATS-18 has 3 sub-scales: Adverse effects of smoking (items 1-10), psychoactive benefits of smoking (items 11-14), and pleasure of smoking (items 15-18). To score, all items per sub-scale were averaged to obtain a mean score within each sub-scale. For each sub-scale, higher scores indicate greater agreement with the specific attitude towards smoking. | n=1 had incomplete baseline data, n=4 were missing Week 2 data, n=5 were missing Week 6 data | Posted | Mean | Standard Deviation | units on a scale | Baseline, 2-weeks, and 6-weeks post-quit |
|
|
|
|
| Secondary | Within-person Changes in Theorized Mechanism of Behavior Change - Commitment to Quitting Scale (Kahler et al., 2007) | The Commitment to Quitting Smoking Scale (CQSS) asks participants to rate their level of agreement (Likert scale, 1="strongly disagree" to 5="strongly agree") on 8-items assessing motivation to quit smoking (e.g., I'm not going to let anything get in the way of my quitting smoking). Scale scores are reported as the average of all items, where higher scores indicate a greater commitment to quitting smoking. | n=1 had incomplete baseline data, n=4 were missing Week 2 data, n=5 were missing Week 6 data | Posted | Mean | Standard Deviation | units on a scale | Baseline, 2-weeks, and 6-weeks post-quit |
|
|
|
|
| Secondary | Within-person Changes in Theorized Mechanism of Behavior Change - Decisional Balance Inventory (DBI) for Smoking Short Form (Ward et al., 2004) | This 6-item form assesses the personal importance people place on positive and negative smoking expectancies. Items were rated on slider scales ranging from 0="not at all important" to 100="extremely important." Two sub-scale mean scores were calculated: positive expectancies (3 items), and negative smoking expectancies (3 items). On both scales, higher scores indicate a greater importance of the smoking expectancies (positive or negative). | n=4 were missing Week 2 data, n=5 were missing Week 6 data | Posted | Mean | Standard Deviation | units on a scale | Baseline, 2-weeks, and 6-weeks post-quit |
|
|
|
|
| Secondary | Within-person Changes in Theorized Mechanism of Behavior Change - Single-item Pros/Cons of Quitting Smoking Measures | Two single-item measures assessed the pros and cons of being smoke-free: (1) "Think about all the things you LIKE/LOVE about quitting/being smoke-free; taken together, how important are those things to you RIGHT NOW?" and (2) "Think about all the things you DISLIKE/HATE about quitting/being smoke-free; taken together, how important are those things to you RIGHT NOW?" Both single-item measures were rated on slider scales ranging from 0="not at all" to 100="extremely important", so that higher scores indicate a greater perceived importance of the pros and cons of being smoke-free, respectively. | n=4 and n=5 participants had missing data at weeks 2 and 6, respectively. Data was analyzed in a hierarchical mixed model with maximum likelihood estimation to handle missing data. | Posted | Mean | Standard Deviation | units on a scale | Baseline, 2-weeks, and 6-weeks post-quit |
|
|
|
|
| Secondary | Within-person Changes in Theorized Mechanism of Behavior Change - Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) (Cohen, 1983) | This 10-item scale assesses perceived stress during the past month. Items were rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0="Never" to 4="Very Often." The overall scale score is the total of all 10 items, of which 4 are reverse-coded, so that score totals can range from 0 to 40 with higher scores indicating greater levels of perceived stress. The PSS has two sub-scales that assess perceived helplessness (6 items) and perceived self-efficacy (4 items). Sub-scale scores were calculated as mean scores of all sub-scale items (sub-scale score ranges: 0-4), so that higher scores on the sub-scales indicate higher perceived helplessness or higher perceived self-efficacy, respectively. | n=4 were missing Week 2 data, n=5 were missing Week 6 data | Posted | Mean | Standard Deviation | score on a scale | Baseline, 2-weeks, and 6-weeks post-quit |
|

|
|
| Secondary | Within-person Changes in Theorized Mechanism of Behavior Change - Brief Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced (Carver, 1997) | This 28-item scale assesses the use of 14 coping mechanisms. Each item was rated on a 4-point Likert-scale, where 1="I haven't been doing this at all", 2="I've been doing this a little bit", 3="I've been doing this a medium amount", and 4="I've been doing this a lot." Sub-scales consist of 2 items for each of 14 coping mechanisms with no reversals of coding: (1) Self-distraction, (2) active coping, (3) denial, (4) substance use, (5) use of emotional support, (6) use of instrumental support, (7) behavioral disengagement, (8) venting, (9) positive reframing, (10) planning, (11) humor, (12) acceptance, (13) religion, (14) self-blame. Sub-scale scores range from 2 to 8 with higher scores indicating more frequent use of each specific coping mechanism, regardless of whether they are considered adaptive or maladaptive. | n=1 had incomplete baseline data for Brief COPE - Acceptance and Brief COPE denial - Baseline, n=4 were missing Week 2 data (with n=5 incomplete for Brief COPE use of emotional support, Brief COPE use of instrumental support, Brief COPE planning, Brief COPE self-blame), n=5 has incomplete baseline date (with n=6 incomplete for Brief COPE religion, Brief COPE active coping, Brief COPE Self-distraction). | Posted | Mean | Standard Deviation | score on a scale | Baseline, 2-weeks, and 6-weeks post-quit |

|
| Other Pre-specified | Features of App That Need Improvement - App Usage | App usage, as quantified by the number of days of used during the prescribed period of app use (i.e., 49), based on passively recorded app usage patterns. | Posted | Mean | Standard Deviation | days on which app was used at least once | 6 weeks after chosen smoking cessation date |
|
|
|
| Other Pre-specified | Self-reported Smoking Status | Participants were asked "Have you been abstinent during the past 30 days?" in follow-up to providing their current smoking status as "I do not smoke at all." The outcome is presented as a % of participants who self-reported 30-day point-prevalence smoking abstinence. Participants were assumed to be smoking if they did not complete surveys. | Posted | Count of Participants | Participants | Baseline, 2 weeks post-quit, 6 weeks post-quit, 3-months post-quit, 6-months post-quit |
