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.
IMPLICATIONS
This study describes patterns of smartphone usage among smokers and identifies the smartphone application features smokers believe would be most useful during a quit attempt. Findings indicate which subgroups of smokers are most likely to be reached with mobile health interventions and suggests that inclusion of specific features may be helpful for engaging smokers in the smoking cessation process.
背景
在过去十年中，由于技术的飞速进步，人们对使用智能手机来帮助戒烟越来越感兴趣。为此目的已经开发了数百种应用程序，但人们对吸烟者如何访问和使用这些应用程序以及吸烟者认为最有用的功能知之甚少。
目的
本研究旨在了解吸烟者拥有智能手机的情况以及使用模式，以及目前正在开发或已经可用的各种用于戒烟的智能手机应用程序功能的感知实用性。
方法
每日吸烟的吸烟者（n = 224）报告了智能手机的拥有情况、使用模式以及对功能的感知实用性。根据感知实用性对功能进行了排名，并根据人口统计学和吸烟相关变量检查了感知实用性和一般智能手机使用模式的差异。
结果
大多数吸烟者（80.4％）拥有智能手机，但很少有使用戒烟应用程序的经验（6.1％）。所有权和使用模式因人口统计学和吸烟相关变量而异。总体而言，增益框架的功能被评为最有用，而损失框架和人际功能被评为最没用。
结论
移动健康干预措施有可能覆盖大量吸烟者，但目前的利用率很低。需要付出更多努力来确保治疗机会均等。增益框架的信息可能特别有助于吸引吸烟者，即使其他功能最终会影响治疗效果。
意义
本研究描述了吸烟者使用智能手机的模式，并确定了吸烟者在戒烟尝试中认为最有用的智能手机应用程序功能。研究结果表明，哪些亚组的吸烟者最有可能通过移动健康干预措施接触到，并表明包含特定功能可能有助于吸引吸烟者参与戒烟过程。
