“…Roughly half of the reviewed studies supported the effects of most of the treatment components compared to control conditions. Many studies involved treatment packages with several components; thus, future component analyses will be valuable to isolate active components (Dallery et al 2014b). Furthermore, given the mixed results across studies, future work should help illuminate the conditions under which these active components generate positive outcomes.…”

Modifiable behavioral risk factors such as cigarette smoking, physical inactivity, and obesity contribute to over 40 % of premature deaths in the USA. Advances in digital and information technology are creating unprecedented opportunities for behavior analysts to assess and modify these risk factors. Technological advances include mobile devices, wearable sensors, biomarker detectors, and real-time access to therapeutic support via information technology. Integrating these advances with behavioral technology in the form of conceptually systematic principles and procedures could usher in a new generation of effective and scalable behavioral interventions targeting health behavior. In this selective review of the literature, we discuss how technological tools can assess and modify a range of antecedents and consequences of healthy and unhealthy behavior. We also describe practical, methodological, and conceptual advantages for behavior analysts that stem from the use of technology to assess and treat health behavior.

“…Nonetheless, future studies need to replicate these findings, and would be strengthened by technological approaches that allow fine-grained, real-time tobacco use assessment. (Dallery, Kurti, & Martner, 2015). …”

To refine public health policy amidst a changing landscape of tobacco products in the United States, it is first necessary to describe fully the nature of smokers’ alternative product use. Little research addresses smokers’ snus use, and most studies are limited by small samples, cross-sectional designs, and crude outcome measurement. This study sample includes 626 adult US smokers who denied intention to quit in the next month and were randomized to receive free snus during a 6-week sampling period, after which no snus was provided. Participants were then followed for one year. Outcome data were collected via phone. Participants (mean age: 48.7 years) were predominately female, White non-Hispanic. Eighty-four percent reported trial of snus. Eleven percent reported purchase (i.e., adoption). Current use declined from 47.1% at the end of the sampling period to 6.5% at the end of follow-up. Frequency and quantity of snus use among current users was low. Among snus users, 79.3% said it functioned as an alternative to smoking and 58.4% said it provided a means of coping with smoking restrictions; options not mutually exclusive. In logistic regressions, men were more likely to report trial (odds ratio [OR]=2.33, p < .01) and adoption (OR=1.84, p < .05) than women. Baseline expectations about the nature of snus use also predicted snus outcomes (OR=1.28–1.78, p < .05). Smokers showed willingness to try snus, but product interest waned over time. Snus as currently marketed is unlikely to play a prominent role in US tobacco control efforts.

“…Objective evidence of smoking can be obtained through breath carbon monoxide (CO) or cotinine in urine or saliva (cotinine is a metabolite of nicotine; Benowitz & Jacob, 1994). CM has resulted in smoking abstinence in a variety of populations including heavy, rural, pregnant, adolescent, and difficult-totreat smokers (for reviews see Dallery, Kurti, & Martner, 2015;Ledgerwood, 2008;Sigmon & Patrick, 2012). Recently, remote, internet-based technology has been used to monitor CO and deliver CM (Dallery & Glenn, 2005;Dallery, Glenn, & Raiff, 2007;Dallery et al, 2017;Meredith, Grabinski, & Dallery, 2011;Stoops et al, 2009), which could promote widespread access to the intervention.…”

Contingency management (CM) interventions are among the most effective behavioral interventions for smoking. This study assessed the effects of CM and electronic cigarettes (ECs) on smoking reductions and abstinence for durations of 30‐36 days. Twelve participants were exposed to Baseline, EC alone, and EC + CM conditions. An internet‐based platform was used to monitor smoking via breath carbon monoxide (CO) and deliver CM for smoking abstinence (CO ≤4 ppm). A Bluetooth‐enabled EC monitored daily EC puffs. Abstinence rates were equivalent between EC (34.4%) and EC + CM (30.4%) conditions. Both conditions promoted smoking reductions. We observed an inverse correlation between smoking and EC puffs (r = ‐.62, p < .05). Results suggest the use of electronic cigarettes can promote smoking reductions and abstinence, and CM did not improve these outcomes. Larger magnitude consequences or tailoring EC characteristics (e.g., flavor) may have improved outcomes. Technology‐based methods to collect intensive, longitudinal measures of smoking and electronic cigarette use may be useful to characterize their environmental determinants.
