Actívatexto: Advancing Smoking Cessation and Physical Activity Among Latinos

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to assess the efficacy of Actívatexto (Aim 1) and the mediators of the presumed treatment effect (Aim 2) among Latino adults who smoke. Actívatexto is a mobile intervention that integrates four components: 1) a text messaging program that promotes both smoking cessation and physical activity, 2) wearable devices to monitor physical activity, 3) smoking cessation pharmacotherapy \[i.e., nicotine replacement therapies (NRT)\], and 4) an online dashboard where the research team manages participants' incoming and outgoing data from both the text messaging program and wearable devices.
