Summary

This study compares three mobile health methods to help underserved primary care patients stop smoking: two smartphone apps (iCanQuit and iCanQuit+Motiv8) and the Florida quit line. Over 1,300 participants will be followed to see which approach leads to more people quitting, measured by breath carbon monoxide levels and self-report. The goal is to find effective, scalable options for those with limited access to care.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: behavioral interventions (smartphone apps and quit line)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could provide effective, accessible smoking cessation options for underserved populations, reducing tobacco-related disease.
What could go wrong: This is a large but early-stage comparative study; results may not apply to all smokers, and app-based approaches may have low long-term engagement.
