Smartphone-Based Survey and Message Compliance in Adults Initially Unready to Quit Smoking: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial

JMIR Form Res. 2024 Jun 7;8:e56003. doi: 10.2196/56003.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Efficacy of smartphone-based interventions depends on intervention content quality and level of exposure to that content. Smartphone-based survey completion rates tend to decline over time; however, few studies have identified variables that predict this decline over longer-term interventions (eg, 26 weeks).

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to identify predictors of survey completion and message viewing over time within a 26-week smoking cessation trial.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: Our aim was to provide an up-to-date, large-scale overview of the trends and clinicodemographics for NASH LTs performed in the United States compared with all other LT indications between 2000 and 2022. We also examined the demographic factors that will predict future demand for NASH LT.
