Summary

This study aimed to test a smartphone app called EQQUAL-NM, designed to help sexual and gender minority young adults (ages 18–30) in New Mexico quit smoking. The app used a culturally-tailored avatar to deliver support. However, the trial was withdrawn before any participants enrolled, so no results are available.
