Summary

This trial seeks to find out if home-based food delivery, combined with real-time video-based motivational counseling, can help people quit smoking.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for regular smokers aged 21-75 living in Desha, Phillips, Chicot, or Lee Counties who are interested in quitting. Participants must have smoked for at least a year and be willing to use study-provided tech for communication and COVID-19 symptom reporting. They need an active phone, home address, email, and speak English.
What is being tested?
The FRESH Delivers trial tests if video-based motivational counseling combined with home food deliveries increases the chances of quitting smoking compared to either strategy alone. The belief is that better food security might help people stop smoking.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed for counseling or food delivery interventions typically these activities do not carry significant health risks but may include discomfort from discussing personal habits or potential dietary changes.
