About this trial
This mixed-methods study develops and evaluates a mobile health (mHealth) application for smoking cessation among Indonesian adolescents aged 13-15 years. The study uses a sequential exploratory approach with three phases: (1) qualitative research to inform app design; (2) app development using Rapid Application Development (RAD) model; and (3) a single-blind, two-arm randomized controlled trial comparing the mHealth intervention to paper-based materials. The intervention is grounded in the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) and Transtheoretical Model (TTM). Primary outcome is smoking abstinence at 1-, 3-, and 6-month follow-ups measured through self-report questionnaires.
