Testing the Integrated mHealth App Intervention "SiS-H"

United States66 participantsStarted 2023-11-07

Plain-language summary

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".
