Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Eligible participants who self-identify as American Indian or Alaska Native, are 18 or older, and smoke daily are randomized to use either the IndigeQuit app or the NCI QuitGuide app and asked to use it for at least 45 days. The IndigeQuit arm includes a personalized quit plan, eight progressive content levels, on-demand coping tools, and daily smoking tracking; the comparator arm uses the NCI QuitGuide app. Participants provide biospecimens and complete surveys, and outcomes are assessed at 3, 6, and 12 months. The intervention is delivered remotely via participants' own smartphones and excludes those currently using other cessation behavioral or pharmacologic treatments.
