Summary

This study adapts an existing smoking cessation program (CEASE) for Somali immigrant parents who smoke. Researchers will test whether brief counseling, nicotine patch prescriptions, and quitline referrals delivered during pediatric visits can help parents quit. The study enrolls 50 Somali parents and focuses on whether the program is feasible and acceptable.
