Summary
This study tests whether a text-message program designed specifically for American Indian and Alaska Native adults can help them quit smoking more effectively than a standard program. Participants receive 24/7 encouragement, advice, and tips via their smartphone. The main goal is to see if more people in the culturally tailored group stay smoke-free for at least seven days after six months.
