Mindfulness-based Smoking Cessation Enhanced With Mobile Technology

This study is a 2 X 2 randomized controlled trial to investigate the effects of the iQuit

Mindfully text messaging program, both as a standalone intervention and in combination

with in-person counseling (Mindfulness-based Addiction Treatment; MBAT), compared to

usual care. Participants will be randomized to one of four groups based on assignment to

iQuit Mindfully text messages (yes/no) and in-person MBAT (yes/no):

- Usual Care (self-help materials + nicotine patch and nicotine lozenge treatment)

- MBAT (8 weekly virtual MBAT sessions + self-help materials + nicotine patch and

nicotine lozenge treatment)

- iQuit Mindfully (iQuit Mindfully text messages + self-help materials + nicotine

patch and nicotine lozenge treatment)

- MBAT + iQuit Mindfully (8 weekly virtual MBAT sessions + iQuit Mindfully text

messages + self-help materials + nicotine patch and nicotine lozenge treatment)

All study participants will receive self-help smoking cessation materials, including the

"Clearing the Air" booklet developed by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and a

referral to the Tobacco Cessation Quitline (1-800-QUIT-NOW). All study participants will

also receive nicotine patches and lozenges. Assessments will occur at baseline and weeks

1, 3, 5, and 8. Follow-up assessments will occur at weeks 12 and 24.
