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

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to pilot an eHealth intervention using real-time telecounselling to help individuals with nicotine addiction. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an active treatment group, receiving six weekly sessions of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Motivational Interviewing (CBT-MI), or a control group that will only undergo screening and assessment. The study will evaluate the efficacy of the intervention in preventing increased nicotine consumption and enhancing readiness to quit, as well as its feasibility for larger-scale trials. Outcome measures will be compared pre and post-intervention to assess treatment effects.
