Cover Story: We analyzed adherence to an intervention to quit maladaptive behaviors (quitting tobacco and cannabis use) and increase healthy behaviors (physical activity) using the cell phone app: App-terapia Prescinde. We analyzed adherence in terms of persistence rate and frequency of use of the app. Our results are very useful as they allow us to understand the usage patterns of cell phone interventions over time. In particular, they provide detailed information on the socio-demographic variables and their relationship with the use of the therapy app Prescinde. Our findings allow us to conceptualize the extent to which cell phone interventions produce behavioral changes aimed at quitting addictive behaviors. This challenge can help to design specific interventions that are low cost and sustainable for the healthcare system. View this paper
