Summary

This trial will compare the effectiveness of four interventions to help smokers quit smoking for at least six months.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for underserved adult smokers referred for lung cancer screening. Participants must be 18+, have a cell phone with text or internet, and meet at least one of these: Black, Hispanic, rural resident, or low income. They should smoke at least 1 cigarette per day and not use e-cigarettes.
What is being tested?
The study compares four ways to help people quit smoking: removing cost barriers to quitting aids, offering money rewards for staying smoke-free, using a mobile app designed to support quitting efforts. The goal is to see which method helps maintain no smoking for six months.
What are the potential side effects?
There may not be direct medical side effects from the interventions since they involve financial incentives and digital tools rather than medications. However, participants might experience stress or frustration related to trying to quit smoking.

Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Active Control
Group I: Enhanced Usual Care plus Financial Incentives plus Mobile Health ApplicationActive Control3 Interventions
Participants receive all aspects of Arm 3 plus an intervention to promote episodic future thinking (EFT), called FutureMe. EFT has been shown to reliably reduce discounting of the future. Patients will practice using EFT cues to envision the "future is now" between the time of enrollment and the quit date, and will then receive cues from the quit date through the end of the intervention period, 6 months later, unless they ask to stop receiving cues sooner.
Group II: Enhanced Usual Care plus Financial IncentivesActive Control2 Interventions
Participants receive all aspects of enhanced usual care plus an incentive plan in which they will be informed of their eligibility to earn $100, $200, and $300 if they submit negative tests for nicotine metabolites at 2 weeks, 3 month and 6 months following their quit date, respectively.
Group III: Basic Usual CareActive Control1 Intervention
Participants receive the usual care approach, Ask-Advise-Refer (AAR), which is a standard approach in which non-study clinicians ask smokers about their desire to quit smoking, advise them to quit, and provide informational resources such as hotlines, specialized clinics, or smoking cessation classes.
Group IV: Enhanced Usual CareActive Control1 Intervention
Participants receive the basic usual care of Ask-Advise-Refer as well as free access to nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and/or reimbursement of up to $300 for any smoking cessation medications (varenicline/Chantix or bupropion/Zyban) prescribed by non-study clinicians.
