Summary
This trial is testing whether an electronic visit (e-visit) for smoking cessation is effective. Participants will be assigned at random to either receive the e-visit or not. The e-visit will be in the form of an online questionnaire about smoking history, motivation to quit, and preferences for quitting medications. If participants are randomized to the e-visit group, they may receive a prescription for a smoking cessation medication, but they are not required to take it. The study will last 24 weeks and consist of four time points where participants will answer questionnaires and provide breath samples.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults who smoke at least 5 cigarettes a day, are fluent in English, have daily email access, and own a smartphone. They must be enrolled or willing to enroll in MyChart with a valid address. It's not for those who've used FDA-approved quitting meds recently.
What is being tested?
The study tests an e-visit system designed to help people quit smoking against the usual treatment methods. Participants will either receive this innovative online support tool or continue with standard care without the e-visit intervention.
What are the potential side effects?
Since participants may get prescriptions for smoking cessation medications based on their e-visits, potential side effects include those associated with such medications like nausea, insomnia, headaches, dry mouth, and constipation.
