NoFumo plus : A Clinical Trial of an mHealth for Smoking Cessation with Hospitalized Patients. Int J Environ Res Public Health. 2021 Oct;18(19):10476. 10.3390/ijerph181910476 1660-4601 International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.13003/19715 34639776 L2014030382 2-s2.0-85116425669 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12105/23286 710233200001 Smartphone applications (apps) improve accessibility to smoking cessation treatments. The NoFumo+ app administers a cognitive behavioral therapy program for smoking cessation. This study evaluates the efficacy of NoFumo+ for quitting smoking or reducing cigarette consumption versus the usual information-based treatment. A clinical trial was conducted with 99 hospitalized smokers, 54 pseudo-randomly assigned to the app treatment and 45 to the usual treatment. The two groups had homogeneous baseline characteristics to ensure comparability. Abstinence was evaluated at post-treatment (two months) and at a six-month follow-up. The results obtained indicate that participants who receive the usual treatment are 5.40 times more likely to continue smoking than those who undergo the app treatment (95% CI = [1.35; 20.15]). Participants who do not succeed in quitting smoking with the app manage to decrease their habitual consumption. Users who successfully complete treatment with NoFumo+ access all its contents and use the chat, but without requesting professional support. There is not enough empirical evidence to attribute this success to any specific element of the app. NoFumo+ achieves better abstinence rates than the usual information-based treatments, and the goal of generalizing its use to the non-hospitalized smoking population may be achievable in the future. eng Smoking behavior mHealth Cognitive behavioral therapy Clinical trial NoFumo plus : A Clinical Trial of an mHealth for Smoking Cessation with Hospitalized Patients research article
