VAntage Trial Summary

This trial studies how social support helps Veterans quit smoking. Veterans choose a support person to help them quit or prepare for quitting. This helps us learn how to better help Veterans stop smoking.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Veterans who smoke cigarettes and have a support person willing to help them quit. The Veteran must be using cigarettes primarily if they use other tobacco products, and should have smoked at least once in the past month. Their chosen support person needs to be an adult they're in contact with at least three times a week.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests whether having a support person receiving coaching calls and written materials can enhance smoking cessation efforts among Veterans. It aims to determine how social support affects the quitting process, potentially leading to new tailored cessation strategies.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves behavioral interventions like coaching calls and educational materials rather than medications, there are no direct medical side effects. However, participants may experience stress or emotional discomfort during the quitting process.
