Limitations and Caveats
The purpose of this pilot was to inform feasibility and acceptability of the experimental app among smokers who were ambivalent about quitting. Data were analyzed among participants who installed the app (n = 19) and are subject to missingness for some outcomes. This pilot study was not powered to provide definitive answers about the efficacy of the intervention. A larger trial is needed for this.
