LGBTQ Smoking Cessation App Study

STUDY BASICS

Are you a current smoker and thinking about quitting smoking? Do you identify as LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer)? If so, you may be eligible to participate in a research study to find out if a smartphone app can help you quit smoking and stay smoke-free. Participation involves downloading an app on your phone and completing surveys. Compensation provided.

STUDY PURPOSE

People who identify as LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer) are more likely to smoke cigarettes than their heterosexual peers. However, there has been little research into the best ways to help people in this population quit smoking. The purpose of this research study is to find out if a smartphone app can help people who identify as LGBTQ quit smoking and stay smoke-free. Researchers hope their findings will lead to better ways to help people stop smoking in the future.
