Digital Smoking Cessation Preferences of Predominately Low-Income and Latino Residents of the San Joaquin Valley in California: Qualitative Study

Digital Smoking Cessation Preferences of Predominately Low-Income and Latino Residents of the San Joaquin Valley in California: Qualitative Study

Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States, with more than 490,000 smoking-related deaths each year [1]. Smoking is associated with detrimental effects to the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, and other health risk outcomes [1]. While overall smoking prevalence has declined in the United States, disparities persist across racial and ethnic groups, particularly among those with low socioeconomic status [2].

Thematic Analysis of Smoking Cessation and Future Cessation Interventions for Cancer Survivors: Convenience Sampling Study

Thematic Analysis of Smoking Cessation and Future Cessation Interventions for Cancer Survivors: Convenience Sampling Study

Thus, there is significant room for improvement related to smoking cessation among cancer survivors. Numerous smoking cessation interventions for cancer patients have been developed and tested, yet the majority have not resulted in increased smoking cessation rates compared to control interventions.

Attitudes Toward Alternative Tobacco and Nicotine Products and Their Association With Lifestyle Habits: Protocol for the MINERVA International Observational Cohort Study

Attitudes Toward Alternative Tobacco and Nicotine Products and Their Association With Lifestyle Habits: Protocol for the MINERVA International Observational Cohort Study

Tobacco smoking is a well-known major global public health concern, with well-documented adverse effects on human health [1-6]. Traditional smoking involves inhalation of combusted tobacco, which releases several harmful chemicals, including nicotine, tar, carbon monoxide, and various carcinogens.

Applying Human-Centered Design to Develop Smartphone-Based Intervention Messages to Help Young Adults Quit Using E-Cigarettes and Cigarettes: A Remote User Testing Study

Applying Human-Centered Design to Develop Smartphone-Based Intervention Messages to Help Young Adults Quit Using E-Cigarettes and Cigarettes: A Remote User Testing Study

Of several available smartphone-based cessation apps, almost all were either for smoking cessation or vaping cessation [11], offered limited features for vaping cessation [12], and lacked rigorous development and testing [13-15]. Furthermore, existing apps typically adopt a “one-size-fits-all” approach and often fail to incorporate meaningful input from end users early in the development process [16].

Assessing the Clinical Feasibility of the DiaFocus System for Integrated Personalized Management of Type 2 Diabetes: 6-Month Pilot Cohort Study

Assessing the Clinical Feasibility of the DiaFocus System for Integrated Personalized Management of Type 2 Diabetes: 6-Month Pilot Cohort Study

The Dia Focus app was installed on the participant’s own smartphone and used for collecting three types of data: (1) patient-reported health and lifestyle measures such as blood glucose level, smoking, and alcohol consumption; (2) standardized questionnaires such as the World Health Organization Well-being Index (WHO-5) [14]; and (3) automatic collection of sensor data from the phones onboard sensors, such as the step counter.

Effectiveness of a Digital Peer-Supported App Intervention in Promoting Smoking Cessations: Nonrandomized Controlled Trial

Effectiveness of a Digital Peer-Supported App Intervention in Promoting Smoking Cessations: Nonrandomized Controlled Trial

Smoking is the leading cause of noncommunicable disease mortality in Japan, significantly increasing the risk of ischemic heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cancer [1-3]. The societal burden of smoking has intensified, marking smoking cessation as a global imperative [4].

Shopping Data for Population Health Surveillance: Opportunities, Challenges, and Future Directions

Shopping Data for Population Health Surveillance: Opportunities, Challenges, and Future Directions

Epidemiological surveys of tobacco consumption have traditionally focused on cigarette smoking, often overlooking the growing use of less regulated products, such as e-cigarettes, waterpipes, and smokeless tobacco [48]. This narrow scope creates blind spots in understanding the adoption, user demographics, and evolving consumption patterns of newer tobacco products, especially relevant amid the surge in e-cigarette use among young people [49].

Smoking Cessation Strategies for Different Types of Cigarette Users Using a Digital Peer–Supported App and Nicotine Aids: Prospective Study

Smoking Cessation Strategies for Different Types of Cigarette Users Using a Digital Peer–Supported App and Nicotine Aids: Prospective Study

Systematic reviews confirm the efficacy of digital-based therapies, such as smartphone apps, in aiding smoking cessation [12,13]. Additionally, recent studies have examined differences in smoking cessation success rates by cigarette type (combustible cigarettes vs HTPs) using app-based interventions, suggesting that HTP users achieve higher smoking cessation success rates than those using combustible cigarettes [14,15].

Impact of Ecological Momentary Assessment Participation on Short-Term Smoking Cessation: quitSTART Ecological Momentary Assessment Incentivization Randomized Trial

Impact of Ecological Momentary Assessment Participation on Short-Term Smoking Cessation: quitSTART Ecological Momentary Assessment Incentivization Randomized Trial

However, most people try to quit smoking without assistance [6-8], which has been shown to be less effective than quitting with assistance [9]. Therefore, connecting people who want to quit smoking with smoking cessation treatment is an important public health goal [8]. Smoking cessation programs using mobile health (m Health) technologies have the potential to cost-effectively reach individuals who smoke at a population level [10-12].

Measuring Stress, Socialization, and Smoking Behaviors Among Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Other Sexual and Gender Minority Adolescents (the Puff Break Research Study): Protocol for a Ecological Momentary Assessment Study

Measuring Stress, Socialization, and Smoking Behaviors Among Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Other Sexual and Gender Minority Adolescents (the Puff Break Research Study): Protocol for a Ecological Momentary Assessment Study

The contributions of minority stress processes and socialization factors on LGBTQ+ youth smoking have been primarily studied via retrospective surveys [28,30], limiting understanding of the real-time impacts of minority stress and socialization effects on smoking behaviors during the developmental period when sexual orientation and gender disparities in smoking emerge. Minority stress experiences [31,32] and exposure to peer norms [27-29] that influence smoking are common daily events.
