Summary
A systematic review that aims to identify the features of digital behavior change interventions (DBCIs) for smoking cessation that are associated with intervention effectiveness (odds of abstinence), and to explore how socioeconomic status (SES) moderates this relationship. The review will examine the associations between intervention effectiveness and behavior change techniques (BCTs), ease-of-use, readability, and mode of delivery. It will include studies involving adults and adolescents who smoke tobacco in any country or setting, excluding those exclusively using electronic nicotine delivery systems or nicotine replacement therapy. The review will conduct meta-classification and regression tree (meta-CART) analyses to identify main and interaction effects. The review will also explore the extent to which DBCIs meet ease-of-use and readability standards. The findings will provide insights into the effectiveness of DBCIs for different population groups and inform the development of tailored interventions to reduce smoking rates and improve health equity.
