Summary

This trialwill test the effectiveness of a telephone-based guided imagery intervention for smoking cessation, with 1,200 diverse smokers from 3 states. Outcome will be measured at 3 and 6 months. Results could lead to an innovative way to improve public health.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking adults over 18 who smoke daily and are willing to receive phone coaching. They must have a smartphone with internet access. It's not for those without a phone or internet, non-English speakers, households with more than one participant, or individuals with psychosis.
What is being tested?
The study tests a telephone-delivered guided imagery program against standard behavioral control to help people quit smoking. Participants from Arizona, New York, and West Virginia will be randomly assigned to either the guided imagery intervention or the control group.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves behavioral interventions like guided imagery and counseling rather than medications, participants may experience minimal side effects related to stress management techniques.
