What this trial studies
This trial evaluates the efficacy of the All Nations Snuff Out Smokeless (ANSOS) program, a culturally tailored intervention aimed at helping American Indian individuals quit smokeless tobacco. Participants are randomly assigned to either the ANSOS intervention group, which includes group support sessions and individual counseling, or a wait-list control group receiving a Healthy Living educational intervention. The program incorporates cultural elements and addresses historical trauma and mistrust in medical research. The study aims to engage participants over a 12-month period, with follow-up measures taken at six months.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly improve smokeless tobacco cessation rates among American Indian communities.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success with culturally tailored tobacco cessation programs, indicating potential for positive outcomes in similar approaches.
