Baltimore pilot uses digital avatar to help smokers quit and screen for lung cancer
NCT ID NCT06545669
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested whether a computer avatar that delivers a smoking cessation program, combined with help from a community health worker, could help people in Baltimore public housing quit smoking and get screened for lung cancer. Ten adults aged 50 or older who smoked took part. The main goal was to see if the approach was acceptable and practical, not to measure long-term quitting success.
