Summary

We seek to refine and evaluate the novel mobile intervention, Mobile Anxiety Sensitivity Program for Smoking (MASP) which was initially developed and previously tested by our team, targeting sensitivity to interoceptive stress, and to apply it among African American smokers. Our culturally adapted intervention is framed within a sociocultural context of interoceptive stress, which is supported by theory, empirical evidence, and characteristics of African American smokers. The MASP app contains educational content on the history of tobacco and the African American community.

MASP app + NRT

MASP is a mobile intervention that targets anxiety sensitivity among African American smokers (Mobile Anxiety Sensitivity Program for Smoking: MASP). Our intervention is framed within the cultural context of interoceptive stress among African American smokers, which is supported by theory, empirical evidence, and characteristics of this group. The MASP app employs a variety of features to educate its users on how to deal with stress, anxiety, and nicotine withdrawal symptoms. The app contains a series of on-demand features, including a coping toolkit, stress management trainings, and a series of educational videos. MASP also utilizes Ecological Momentary Assessments (EMAs) to gather information, and provide personalized messages to users in real time.
