Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial of Web-Based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Smoking Cessation

Abstract

The trial design was feasible. Compared with Smokefree.gov, ACT had higher user receptivity and short-term cessation, and strong evidence of theory-based mechanisms of change. While results were promising, they were limited by the pilot design (e.g., limited follow-up), and thus a full-scale efficacy trial is now being conducted.
