The primary purpose of this research is to investigate the adoption process of mobile smoking cessation apps for Korean American smokers with the eventual purpose of proposing a new combined model of smartphone smoking cessation adoption.
From September 2018 to March 2019, a total of 227 Korean American smokers responded to surveys regarding the effectiveness of mobile applications for smoking cessation. A path analysis was used to analyze the predictors of adopting and using smoking cessation applications available via smartphones.
Perceived benefits and self-efficacy were important factors for influencing the perceived usefulness of a smoking cessation mobile app. Moreover, the perceived usefulness of a smoking cessation mobile app was also positively related to intention to use a smoking cessation mobile app.
Although mobile smoking cessation apps can help many individuals quit smoking, most Korean American smokers are not current users of smoking cessation mobile apps. Therefore, there is a strong need to use strategic evidence-based communication interventions for promoting the widespread adoption of smoking cessation applications.
本研究的主要目的是调查韩裔美国吸烟者对移动戒烟应用程序的采用过程，最终目的是提出一种新的智能手机戒烟采用综合模型。
2018年9月至2019年3月，共有227名韩裔美国吸烟者对关于移动应用程序戒烟效果的调查做出了回应。采用路径分析来分析通过智能手机采用和使用戒烟应用程序的预测因素。
感知到的益处和自我效能感是影响戒烟移动应用程序感知有用性的重要因素。此外，戒烟移动应用程序的感知有用性也与使用戒烟移动应用程序的意图呈正相关。
虽然移动戒烟应用程序可以帮助许多人戒烟，但大多数韩裔美国吸烟者目前并非戒烟移动应用程序的用户。因此，迫切需要采用基于证据的战略沟通干预措施来促进戒烟应用程序的广泛采用。
