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.
