What this trial studies

This pragmatic trial aims to enhance the reach of evidence-based interventions for tobacco cessation among patients in safety-net healthcare systems living in persistent poverty. It employs a multilevel approach, utilizing patient-level Conversational Agents and Patient Navigation strategies alongside clinic-level implementation strategies to increase access to tobacco cessation services. The study will assess the effectiveness of these strategies through a factorial design, randomizing patients based on their responses to Quit Services. The goal is to address both tobacco use and the social determinants of health impacting these patients.
