What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of three smoking cessation therapies among underserved adult patients in primary care settings in North Central Florida. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three interventions: the iCanQuit mobile health application, the iCanQuit application combined with Motiv8, or the Florida quit line. The study will assess smoking cessation rates through breath tests at 2, 6, and 12 months, while also measuring quality of life, self-confidence in quitting, and treatment satisfaction. The research aims to understand how these interventions impact motivation and commitment to quitting smoking across different demographics.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 21 and older who smoke and receive care at participating primary care clinics.
Not a fit: Patients with unstable medical or psychiatric illnesses may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide effective smoking cessation tools tailored for underserved populations, improving their health outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using mobile health interventions for smoking cessation, indicating potential for success in this approach.
