An estimated 34-47% of PWH in the US report cigarette smoking, three to four times the prevalence observed in the U.S. adult population. Given the dearth of smoking cessation interventions for PWH, our study team used community based participatory feedback to design and develop the Sense2Quit App, an mHealth app linked to a smartwatch, whose sensor technology provides for collection of hand gesture movements to detect when a participant lifts their hand to smoke a cigarette. Participants receive messages through the app to encourage their quit attempts and maintenance of smoking cessation. The goal of this feasibility study was to conduct a randomized feasibility study in 60 PWH living in NYC to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the Sense2Quit App for smoking cessation. Findings from this study suggest that the intervention was highly feasible and acceptable in this population. There was high acceptability with only 1 participant withdrawing from the trial and overall app usage increasing over the course of the study. Participants wore the sensor and used the app and rated it as highly usable. The high retention rate and engagement with the app supports the overall acceptability of this approach.

据估计，美国34%-47%的艾滋病毒感染者报告有吸烟行为，这一比例是美国成年人口吸烟率的三到四倍。鉴于针对艾滋病毒感染者的戒烟干预措施匮乏，我们的研究团队利用基于社区的参与式反馈设计并开发了Sense2Quit应用程序，这是一款与智能手表相连的移动健康应用程序，其传感器技术可收集手部动作，以检测参与者何时抬手吸烟。参与者通过该应用程序接收信息，以鼓励他们尝试戒烟并维持戒烟状态。这项可行性研究的目的是对60名居住在纽约市的艾滋病毒感染者进行随机可行性研究，以评估Sense2Quit应用程序用于戒烟的可行性和可接受性。该研究的结果表明，该干预措施在这一人群中具有高度可行性和可接受性。接受度很高，只有1名参与者退出试验，并且在研究过程中应用程序的总体使用率有所提高。参与者佩戴传感器并使用该应用程序，对其可用性评价很高。高留存率和对应用程序的参与度支持了这种方法的总体可接受性。ClinicalTrials.gov标识符：NCT05609032。
