DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Mobile phone technology offers a variety of opportunities for innovative approaches to health communication and intervention. These opportunities have been amplified by the emergence of next-generation smartphone devices that are capable of rich multimedia and sophisticated interactivity. Smartphone-based programs can be integrated seamlessly into a user's daily life and natural setting to deliver tailored healt messaging, interactive psychosocial activities, cognitive exercises, momentary assessments and much more. Few studies to date have evaluated strategies for leveraging smartphone applications to promote smoking prevention and cessation, and very few examples of evidence-based tobacco control programs currently exist for this rapidly spreading technology platform. The purpose of this project is to investigate the feasibility of a next-generation interactive multimedia intervention for smartphones that will promote smoking prevention and cessation among adolescents and young adults. The intervention will be based on an existing computer-based program entitled ASPIRE, and will be guided by the trans-theoretical model of change, social-cognitive theory, and addiction framework. The aims of this study are to develop a proof-of-concept implementation of the program and to evaluate this prototype for feasibility and preliminary impact. We will recruit 15 active smokers and 15 non-smokers from a local university and evaluate the application's appeal, acceptability, and usage in the field. The proposed research will be built upon our extensive federally funded line of tobacco and youth projects utilizing behavioral theory and innovative computer technology. The proposal is based on the considerable experience gained in a number of highly promising tobacco projects conducted by our investigative team. This study will significantly advance our understanding of tobacco control among young adult smokers, who represent an understudied population. It will inform future work to investigate ways in which smartphone technology may be used for health communication and effective promotion of health behavior change.

描述（由申请人提供）：移动的电话技术为健康通信和干预的创新方法提供了各种机会。下一代智能手机设备的出现扩大了这些机会，这些设备能够提供丰富的多媒体和复杂的交互性。基于智能手机的程序可以无缝集成到用户的日常生活和自然环境中，以提供量身定制的健康信息，交互式心理活动，认知练习，瞬时评估等等。到目前为止，很少有研究评估利用智能手机应用程序来促进预防和戒烟的策略，而且目前这种快速传播的技术平台很少有基于证据的烟草控制计划的例子。该项目的目的是调查下一代智能手机交互式多媒体干预的可行性，以促进青少年和年轻人的吸烟预防和戒烟。干预将基于现有的基于计算机的程序，名为ASPIRE，并将由跨理论的变化模型，社会认知理论和成瘾框架指导。本研究的目的是开发一个概念验证的程序的实施，并评估这一原型的可行性和初步的影响。我们将从当地大学招募15名吸烟者和15名非吸烟者，并评估应用程序的吸引力，可接受性和在该领域的使用。拟议的研究将建立在我们广泛的联邦资助的烟草和青年项目线利用行为理论和创新的计算机技术。这项建议是根据我们的调查小组进行的一些非常有希望的烟草项目所取得的大量经验提出的。这项研究将大大提高我们对年轻成年吸烟者烟草控制的理解，他们代表了一个研究不足的人群。它将为未来的工作提供信息，以调查智能手机技术可用于健康传播和有效促进健康行为改变的方式。
