A Novel Mobile Health Intervention for Improving Tobacco Cessation Among Young Adults
Sponsor: Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center
Summary
Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable cancer deaths. Among young adults, approximately 1 in 5 use commercial nicotine and tobacco products, putting them at risk of developing nicotine addiction and long-term health effects from exposure to toxicants. Innovative approaches are needed to engage young adults in treatment, as they are less engaged in traditional treatment. This clinical trial compares two versions of a mobile health intervention called Living Free from Tobacco (LiFT), designed to support nicotine and tobacco cessation among young adults. Both versions of the app are designed to motivate and support young adults to stop using nicotine and tobacco, regardless of current readiness to quit. Version A of the LiFT app (LiFT A) focuses on increasing psychological flexibility to support cessation, while Version B (LiFT B) provides educational content and resources related to tobacco use and cessation. Both versions of the program are delivered through a smartphone application and include accompanying text messages.
