Engagement With an Adaptive Mobile Health Smoking Cessation Intervention

All patients are offered brief advice delivered by telephone by a clinical research coordinator who underwent Tobacco Treatment Specialist core training and a text message program tailored to readiness to quit and quit date. Content is personalized with user's name and Massachusetts General Hospital resources.

Patients who report continued smoking at Early or Late assessment (depending on random assignment) will be offered a 4 week supply of patches and/or lozenges dosed according to package instructions (patches dosed according to cigarettes smoked per day and lozenges dosed according to time to first cigarette).

Patients who report continued smoking at Early (4-week) or Late (8-week) assessment of response will be randomized to receive proactive telephone coaching or not. Proactive coaching will consist of an attempt to reach the patient by telephone in order to review quit activities, provide information about locally available pharmacologic and behavioral treatment options and information sharing with patient's primary care provider. The coach is trained in core Tobacco Treatment Specialist activities.
