Q & A?

Why should I participate?

We are doing a research study to help you quit smoking and to assess the effects of a novel iPhone program to help you and others like you break your addiction. If you decide to join, your involvement will last 8 weeks, and is designed to be engaging and enjoyable as you quit smoking for good. After 8 weeks, you will have the option to continue using the program to guide your quit journey.

What will I be doing?

As part of the 8-week program, you’ll complete “missions” - small activities designed to prepare you for your new smokefree life. You will be asked to regularly engage with the application to help reduce and eventually quit smoking. You’ll also complete 8 Weekly Check-Ins to report your smokes. Each Check-In will take about a minute or two. You will NOT be required to take any medications or travel to a study site.

Will I be compensated for my participation?

Yes - at 8 weeks, you’ll get a $25 gift card to Amazon for filling out the questionnaire, and you have the chance to earn another $25 for taking a saliva test to verify your smoking status. If you continue to use the application, you can earn 2 more $25 gift cards for completing a questionnaire at 16 weeks and another at 24 weeks! That’s up to $100 to use a phone-based program to help you quit smoking!
