Facebook是最受欢迎的社交网站，在全球拥有超过10亿用户。Facebook提供了数百万个应用程序，其中许多都涉及健康和健康行为改变。Facebook可能是一个有希望的渠道，通过应用程序接触吸烟者进行戒烟干预。到目前为止，还没有关于Facebook应用程序戒烟的报道。这项研究的目的是审查Facebook戒烟应用程序的特点和功能，并确定它们在多大程度上遵守烟草依赖治疗的循证指南。2013年8月，我们使用戒烟关键词搜索Facebook和三个顶级互联网搜索引擎，以识别相关的Facebook应用程序。筛选所得应用程序的合格性（戒烟相关、英语和功能）。合格的应用程序由2名独立编码员使用标准化编码方案进行审查。编码包括内容特征（互动性、信息性和社交性）和对来自美国公共卫生服务的《治疗烟草使用和依赖的临床实践指南》的既定20项指数（可能得分为0-40）的遵守。我们筛选了22个应用程序的资格;其中12个进行了完整的编码。Facebook上只有9个应用程序可用。Facebook应用程序分为三大类：公开承诺戒烟（n=3），基于戒烟日期的计算器/跟踪器（n=4），或多组分戒烟计划（n=2）。除了两个基于退出日期的计算器/跟踪器应用程序（缺乏信息组件）外，所有应用程序都包含交互式，信息和社交功能。所有应用程序都允许在Facebook内发布与应用程序相关的帖子（即在自己/其他Facebook个人资料上），其中四个应用程序具有应用程序内“社区”功能，使应用程序用户能够相互交流。Facebook应用程序的依从性指数总体得分较低（平均值15.1，SD 7.8，范围7-30），多组件应用程序得分最高。在Facebook上几乎没有戒烟应用程序。在这些可用的，遵守戒烟治疗指南是低。通过Facebook平台提供的戒烟干预措施是一种独特且尚未开发的治疗策略，可以利用现有的社会支持和社交网络进行戒烟。需要进行研究，以检查遵守烟草依赖治疗临床实践指南的应用程序是否比不遵守的应用程序更有效地促进戒烟。
Facebook is the most popular social network site, with over 1 billion users globally. There are millions of apps available within Facebook, many of which address health and health behavior change. Facebook may represent a promising channel to reach smokers with cessation interventions via apps. To date, there have been no published reports about Facebook apps for smoking cessation. The purpose of this study was to review the features and functionality of Facebook apps for smoking cessation and to determine the extent to which they adhere to evidence-based guidelines for tobacco dependence treatment. In August 2013, we searched Facebook and three top Internet search engines using smoking cessation keywords to identify relevant Facebook apps. Resultant apps were screened for eligibility (smoking cessation-related, English language, and functioning). Eligible apps were reviewed by 2 independent coders using a standardized coding scheme. Coding included content features (interactive, informational, and social) and adherence to an established 20-item index (possible score 0-40) derived from the US Public Health Service’s Clinical Practice Guidelines for Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence. We screened 22 apps for eligibility; of these, 12 underwent full coding. Only 9 apps were available on Facebook. Facebook apps fell into three broad categories: public pledge to quit (n=3), quit-date–based calculator/tracker (n=4), or a multicomponent quit smoking program (n=2). All apps incorporated interactive, informational, and social features except for two quit-date–based calculator/trackers apps (lacked informational component). All apps allowed app-related posting within Facebook (ie, on self/other Facebook profile), and four had a within-app “community” feature to enable app users to communicate with each other. Adherence index summary scores among Facebook apps were low overall (mean 15.1, SD 7.8, range 7-30), with multicomponent apps scoring the highest. There are few smoking cessation apps available within Facebook. Among those available, adherence to cessation treatment guidelines was low. Smoking cessation interventions provided via the Facebook platform are a unique and as yet untapped treatment strategy that can harness existing social support and social networks for quitting. Research is needed to examine whether apps that adhere to clinical practice guidelines for tobacco dependence treatment are more effective in promoting cessation than those that do not.
