The app is now working. You may close the app. The app will continue to collect information from your phone, specifically the date, time, and location when you enter and exit stores that sell tobacco products. The app may ask you to complete three very brief questionnaires over the next 18 months. You will receive a $5 gift card for each completed questionnaire for up to $15. Each time you complete a questionnaire, you will receive an e-mail describing your gift card, which can be redeemed online.
The app uses location services and specific settings to determine how often you go into stores that sell tobacco products. The app will not work if you delete the app, change the app settings, or turn off location services. As a result, we hope that you will not delete the app, change any of the app’s settings, or turn off location services while participating in this study. If you want to stop participating in this portion of the study, please e-mail us at fdastudy@rti.org, and we will send you instructions on how to remove the app from your phone. If you change phones, accidentally delete the app, or lose your phone, or the app stops working, please contact RTI study staff at fdastudy@rti.org.
The app will use data when you are not connected to a Wi-Fi network. We estimate that the app will use about 150MB (megabytes) of data per month. Please make sure that you have a data plan before installing the app. If you do not have a data plan, or your data plan is too small, your phone company may charge you. Charges for going over your data limit vary greatly but generally range from $0 to $30 each time you go over. You may be charged this amount more than once. Please contact your cellular phone carrier to find out what these charges are. The study will not cover these charges. The app may also affect the battery life of your phone.
