Summary

This trial tests whether a digital program called CanCEASE, combined with a health navigator who helps parents address unmet social needs like housing or food, can boost smoking-cessation rates. Around 1,000 parents who smoke and report at least one social risk will be randomly assigned to receive the program plus navigator support or usual care. The study measures quit rates, smoking intensity, and whether social needs improve over 12 months.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a digital smoking-cessation intervention (CanCEASE) combined with support from a health navigator who helps address unmet social needs
What this could lead to
If it works, this approach could offer a practical way to help parents quit smoking by also tackling real-world barriers like housing or food insecurity.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral intervention, not a drug, so results may vary widely. The trial relies on self-reported quitting and social-need resolution, which can be unreliable.
