Key Points
Cognitive behavioral therapy messages reduced smoking urges after delivery in young adults, enhancing intervention efficacy.
The trial involves 160 participants, with 52% assigned to intervention and 48% to control; results will assess smoking rates over time.
Microrandomized trial tests strategies within real-time contexts, addressing ecological momentary assessments to measure impact on smoking behavior.
Findings will guide strategies for scalable app-based smoking cessation interventions targeting young adults and high-risk situations.
