Randomized Controlled Trial
Appalachian Primary Care Patients' Quit Readiness and Tobacco Treatment Receipt.
Healthcare providers should facilitate smoking cessation, and primary care is an ideal setting for delivering this evidence-based care. This study's objective was to describe readiness to quit smoking combustible cigarettes among adult Appalachian primary care patients and determine their providers' implementation of an established tobacco treatment model. ⋯ Nearly one third of Appalachian patients who smoke reported readiness to quit within 6 months and nearly all received advice to quit from their provider. Patients would benefit from more intensive tobacco treatment delivery in primary care settings, with a focus on assisting with quit attempts.

Quitline-Based Young Adult Vaping Cessation: A Randomized Clinical Trial Examining NRT and mHealth.
Broad-reaching, effective e-cigarette cessation interventions are needed. ⋯ This quitline-delivered intervention was successful at helping young adults quit vaping, with almost half abstinent after 3 months. Higher than anticipated quit rates reduced power to identify significant group differences. Mailed NRT and mHealth did not significantly improve quit rates, in the context of an active control of a 2-call coaching program. Future research is needed to examine the independent effects of coaching calls, NRT, and mHealth in a fully-powered randomized control trial.

Incentivizing Tobacco Helpline Engagement in Persistent Poverty Counties: A Randomized Trial.
Persistent poverty counties (PPCs) are U.S. counties where ≥20% of residents have lived in poverty for ≥30 years. Cancer mortality rates in PPCs are exceptionally high due, in part, to elevated smoking rates. ⋯ Findings support the feasibility and efficacy of offering small FI for completing OTH coaching calls to increase treatment engagement and smoking cessation in PPCs.

Effectiveness of a Just-In-Time Adaptive App to Increase Daily Steps: An RCT.
Addressing the public health problem of physical inactivity, this study evaluates SNapp, a just-in-time adaptive app intervention to promote walking through dynamically tailored coaching content. It assesses SNapp's impact on daily steps and how users' perceptions regarding ease of use and usefulness moderated its effectiveness. ⋯ SNapp increased steps only in users who deemed the app useful, underscoring the importance of user perceptions in app-based interventions.
