背景资料：在过去十年的快速技术进步的推动下，人们对使用智能手机帮助戒烟的兴趣越来越大。人们为此开发了数以百计的应用程序，但对于吸烟者如何访问和使用这些应用程序以及吸烟者认为哪些功能最有用却知之甚少。目的：本研究旨在了解吸烟者中智能手机拥有率和使用模式的流行程度，以及目前正在开发或已经开发的各种智能手机应用程序功能对戒烟的感知效用available.Methods:每日吸烟者（n = 224）报告了智能手机的所有权，他们的智能手机使用模式，以及感知功能的效用。功能进行了排名，根据感知效用和感知效用和一般智能手机使用模式的差异进行了检查作为人口统计和吸烟相关的variables.Results的函数：大多数吸烟者（80.4%）拥有智能手机，但戒烟应用程序的经验是非常罕见的（6.1%）。所有权和使用模式作为人口统计和吸烟相关变量的函数而不同。总体而言，增益帧功能被评为最有用的，而损失帧和人际功能被评为最不useful.Conclusions：移动的健康干预措施有可能达到大量的吸烟者，但目前利用不足。需要作出更多的努力，以确保获得治疗的机会均等。增益框架信息可能对吸引吸烟者特别有用，即使其他功能最终驱动治疗效果。
Background: Fueled by rapid technological advances over the past decade, there is growing interest in the use of smartphones to aid in smoking cessation. Hundreds of applications have been developed for this purpose, but little is known about how these applications are accessed and used by smokers or what features smokers believe would be most useful.Purpose: The present study sought to understand the prevalence of smartphone ownership and patterns of use among smokers as well as the perceived utility of various smartphone application features for smoking cessation that are currently in development or already available.Methods: Daily cigarette smokers (n = 224) reported on smartphone ownership, their patterns of smartphone usage, and perceived utility of features. Features were ranked according to perceived utility and differences in both perceived utility and general smartphone use patterns were examined as a function of demographic and smoking-related variables.Results: Most smokers (80.4%) own a smartphone, but experience with smoking cessation applications is extremely rare (6.1%). Ownership and patterns of usage differed as a function of demographic and smoking-related variables. Overall, gain-framed features were rated as most useful, while loss-framed and interpersonal features were rated as least useful.Conclusions: Mobile health interventions have the potential to reach a large number of smokers but are currently underutilized. Additional effort is needed to ensure parity in treatment access. Gain-framed messages may be especially useful for engaging smokers, even if other features ultimately drive treatment effects.
