ClinConnect Summary

The Re-Connect Application for Smoking Cessation trial is designed to help people quit smoking by using a smartphone app. The study will look at how acceptable and effective it is to give access to the app only if participants can show that they have not smoked for a certain period. This means that the app will help track their progress and support their journey to becoming smoke-free.

To be eligible for this study, participants must be at least 18 years old, smoke at least 10 cigarettes a day for the past 2 years, and have a strong desire to quit smoking. They should also be comfortable using a smartphone and able to read and speak English. It's important that participants do not have certain health issues that could complicate their participation, such as severe breathing problems or unmanaged mental health conditions. If you decide to join, you can expect support in your quit-smoking journey, with the app providing guidance and tools to help you succeed.
