First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.
