This trial aims to see if a pharmacist-delivered program called QuitAid can help people in rural Appalachia quit smoking. Participants will receive at least 4 weeks of nicotine patches, with some also
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adult smokers from rural areas in Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and North Carolina who smoke at least 5 cigarettes daily for the past 6 months. Participants must be willing to quit within the next month, own a cell phone, and use nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). Pregnant individuals or those planning pregnancy are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study tests QuitAid—a pharmacist-led coaching program—to see if it helps people stop smoking when used alone or with other treatments like Smokefree TXT messages, Tobacco Quitline calls, and NRT patches or lozenges. Participants will receive different combinations of these treatments randomly to find out which is most effective.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects may include skin irritation from nicotine patches and mouth issues from lozenges such as soreness or heartburn. The texting program and quitline should not have physical side effects but might require time commitment.
