Chronic health conditions affect most older adults. Preventative medicine and risk management strategies, especially when applied earlier in life, are essential to altering the trajectory of a disease and ultimately improving health outcomes. Primary care providers (PCP) often provide most of these services, though younger adults are the least likely to receive primary care. This project leverages a period of high engagement and health activation during an individual's life (pregnancy) to nudge her toward use of primary care after the pregnancy episode. This randomized controlled trial will test the hypothesis that a behavioral science-informed intervention, incorporating defaults and salience, can increase the rates of PCP follow-up within 4 months following a delivery for individual with hypertension, diabetes, obesity. If successful, this intervention could serve as a scalable solution to increase primary care use and preventative health services in a population that currently has low rates of engagement and utilization of these services.

This is the third study in a series of 3 studies to develop a smartphone app to support nondaily smokers in quitting smoking, as funded by the American Cancer Society grant #RSG CPPB - 130323 (project dates: 07/01/2017 - 6/30/2021). Study 1 (2017P001106) demonstrated feasibility and acceptability when smokers were onboarded in person. Study 2 (2018P002699) demonstrated feasibility and acceptability when smokers were onboarded remotely, nationwide. The present study is Study 3. It is a 3-group proof-of-concept RCT, in which we seek to test if our app (i.e., Version 3 of our developed smartphone app, called 'Smiling instead of Smoking' (SiS)) is superior to treatment as usual (i.e., TAU) and superior to a control app (i.e., the National Cancer Institute's smartphone app "QuitGuide" (QG).
