“…Numerous studies have employed emails as adjuncts to remind smokers to access a webpage or Internet program for cessation, yet only two published studies employed email (specifically, tailored emails) as the actual intervention. 12,20 Both interventions produced promising results, but neither included sizeable numbers of socioeconomically disadvantaged smokers. Research is needed to establish the efficacy of this approach among socioeconomically disadvantaged smokers.…”

“…Randomized controlled trials have demonstrated that text messages and emails providing information, support and motivation for cessation are effective. 5,11,12 Our study aimed to: 1) examine socioeconomically disadvantaged smokers' use of and access to communication technology; and 2) elucidate preferences for receiving quitting information and support via email and text message. Findings can provide useful insights to inform the development, translation, and dissemination of cessation communication strategies to help eliminate tobacco-related health disparities.…”

Background: Smartphone applications (apps) are popular aids for smoking cessation. Smoke Free is an app that delivers behaviour change techniques used in effective face-to-face behavioural support programmes. The aim of this study was to assess whether the full version of Smoke Free is more effective than the reduced version. Methods: This was a two-arm exploratory randomised controlled trial. Smokers who downloaded Smoke Free were randomly offered the full or reduced version; 28,112 smokers aged 18+ years who set a quit date were included. The full version provided updates on benefits of abstinence, progress (days smoke free), virtual ‘badges’ and daily ‘missions’ with push notifications aimed at preventing and managing cravings. The reduced version did not include the missions. At baseline the app recorded users’: device type (iPhone or Android), age, sex, daily cigarette consumption, time to first cigarette of the day, and educational level. The primary outcome was self-reported complete abstinence from the quit date in a 3-month follow-up questionnaire delivered via the app. Analyses conducted included logistic regressions of outcome on to app version (full versus reduced) with adjustment for baseline variables using both intention-to-treat/missing-equals smoking (MES) and follow-up-only (FUO) analyses. Results: The 3-month follow-up rate was 8.5% (n=1,213) for the intervention and 6.5% (n=901) for the control. A total of 234 participants reported not smoking in the intervention versus 124 in the control, representing 1.6% versus 0.9% in the MES analysis and 19.3% versus 13.8% in the FUO analysis. Adjusted odds ratios were 1.90, 95%CI=1.53-2.37 (p<0.001) and 1.50, 95%CI=1.18-1.91 (p<0.001) in the MES and FUO analyses respectively. Conclusions: Despite very low follow-up rates using in-app follow up, both intention-to-treat/missing equals smoking and follow-up only analyses showed the full version of the Smoke Free app to result in higher self-reported 3-month continuous smoking abstinence rates than the reduced version.
