Enhancing Long-Term Smoking Abstinence Among Cervical Cancer Survivors
The overall goal of this project is to (1) evaluate the efficacy of MAPS+ and ST in facilitating long-term smoking abstinence, and (2) compare the magnitude of the mediated effects via common mechanisms (i.e., motivation, agency, and stress/negative affect) on smoking abstinence between the MAPS+ and ST treatment groups.
Project END-IT | U01CA261598
MPI: D.J. Vidrine, T.C. Bui
Ending Tobacco Use through Interactive Tailored Messaging for Cambodian People Living with HIV/AIDS (EndIT)
The primary goal is to determine the efficacy of a novel mHealth intervention for smoking cessation among Cambodian people living with HIV/AIDS. The proposed research is relevant to public health because it is ultimately expected to advance understanding of effective tobacco cessation approaches in low- and middle-income settings, and subsequently reduce tobacco-induced cancer morbidity and mortality. It is expected that the treatment will be both effective and affordable, thus appropriate for widespread adoption in many resource-poor settings.

Implementing Sustainable Mobile Health Technology to Optimize Smoking Cessation Program for Lao People with HIV
The purpose of this application is to compare two smoking cessation implementation strategies in eight ART clinics in the five most populous provinces/regions across Laos, using a hybrid type-2 pragmatic effectiveness-implementation study and a parallel cluster randomized trial design. The successful completion of this project will contribute important actionable inputs that will inform the influential National Tobacco Control Committee of Laos and the Lao Ministry of Health to implement the strategies in diverse hospital settings in future large-scale hybrid type II/III trials.
Project mFLi | 23K01
MPI: D.J. Vidrine, V.N. Simmons
Creation of an Infrastructure to Support Delivery of mHealth Interventions for Cancer Patients Throughout Florida
To develop an mHealth resource to support tobacco-related research at institutions throughout Florida and to conduct 3 demonstration smoking cessation projects (screening and recruitment, intervention delivery and referral, and data processing via machine learning) to test the utility and flexibility of the infrastructure and to assess feasibility-, acceptability-, and implementation-related variables.
Project NOURISH | R01CA231952
MPI: D.J. Vidrine, J.I. Vidrine
Partnering with a State Food Bank to Provide Tobacco Treatment to Underserved Smokers
The goal of this project is to determine if Automated Treatment (AT) performs better than the more resource intensive Standard Treatment (AT), compare the magnitude of the mediated effects via common mechanisms on smoking abstinence between the AT and ST treatment, and conduct economic evaluations to assess the cost and/or cost-effectiveness of AT vs. ST.
Project RESOURCE | R01CA243552
PI: D.J. Vidrine
Randomized Trial of Automated Video-Assisted Smoking Treatment for People Living with HIV
The overarching purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate a fully automated smartphone intervention for HIV+ smokers trying to quit.
