Summary
The proposed pilot study seeks to address the smoking treatment needs of people living with
HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) by evaluating the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a smartphone
delivered automated video-assisted smoking treatment (AVAST). AVAST will enable smoking
cessation treatment content to be presented with voice/audio, images, videos, and text in an
interactive, structured format anytime and anywhere. This automated treatment approach is
designed to enhance treatment engagement and facilitate abstinence from smoking among PLWHA.
Participants will be recruited from the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC)
clinics providing care to HIV+ individuals (e.g., the Infectious Diseases Institute).
