Population reach, feasibility and acceptability of digital therapeutics for smoking cessation among people living with HIV: Results of the Quitting Matters pilot trial

The study highlights the potential of DTx to address the high prevalence of tobacco use among people with HIV. Compared to QuitGuide (gold standard DTx developed by NCI), LTQ-H showed promising participant engagement and smoking cessation outcomes. These findings suggest that LTQ-H could be a valuable tool for smoking cessation in people with HIV, warranting further investigation in larger trials to evaluate its effectiveness and implementation feasibility.

Abstract

The study highlights the potential of DTx to address the high prevalence of tobacco use among people with HIV. Compared to QuitGuide (gold standard DTx developed by NCI), LTQ-H showed promising participant engagement and smoking cessation outcomes. These findings suggest that LTQ-H could be a valuable tool for smoking cessation in people with HIV, warranting further investigation in larger trials to evaluate its effectiveness and implementation feasibility.
