Mobile Health to Monitor Risk for COVID-19 and Improve Mental Health during the Pandemic

Project EASE (Easing Anxiety Sensitivity for Everyone) tests a new smartphone application that aims to reduce stress, anxiety, sadness, and depression during these difficult times of the pandemic. Sadness and depression continue to effect so many Oklahomans even as COVID has slowed, due to increased inflation and other stressors in the USA.

This study involves recruiting 800 adults in Oklahoma and Texas. Since a primary goal is to develop and test a smartphone app that addresses anxiety and depression for everyone, we are recruiting 200 American Indian, 200 Black, 200 Latinx, and 200 White adults for this study. All participants will use a smartphone application for 6 months and will be paid up to $360 for completing smartphone-based surveys. Visit HERE to see if you are eligible or call 405-271-1803.

Smartphone Based Smoking Cessation Intervention for Socioeconomically Disadvantaged Adults

This NCI R01 randomized clinical trial (N=450) will compare the longer-term effects of the Smart-T smoking cessation app with the free and publicly available NCI QuitGuide smoking cessation app (Aim 1). The second aim of the proposed study will determine if Smart-T messages that are tailored to address key smoking lapse risk variables in real-time (i.e., urge, stress, cigarette availability, cessation motivation) reduce participant ratings of these lapse risk variables compared with similar situations that do not receive this tailored content (QuitGuide group).
