COach2Quit TRIAL: Assessing a Prototype Personal Carbon Monoxide Monitor for Smoking Cessation
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Individualized carbon monoxide (iCO) monitor, COach2Quit smartphone application, and 1 other intervention for Smoking and Smoking Cessation. Completed, enrolled 102 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The objective of this study is to conduct a randomized controlled trial to determine whether the use of the COach2Quit application (app) reduces smoking more than brief advice for smoking cessation. The investigators hypothesize that real time biomarker feedback and messaging support from the COach2Quit app will lead to greater smoking cessation rates than brief anti-smoking advice alone. If effective, the COach2Quit app could be an easily accessible and cost-effective tool to help smokers quit. The findings from this trial could have implications for the delivery of future outpatient smoking cessation programs.

The advice to quit smoking message will follow NCI's 5 A's model for smoking cessation counseling. This is a simple smoking cessation counseling strategy with 5 discrete components: (1) Ask about smoking at every opportunity; (2) Advise the patient to quit smoking; (3) Assess readiness to quit; (4) Assist the patient in quitting; and (5) Arrange follow-up.
