Summary

This study is testing two remote programs—a chatbot app called QuitBot and a text messaging service—to help American Indian and Alaska Native adults quit smoking. About 772 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the programs. The goal is to see which approach works better for helping people stay smoke-free and reduce their risk of smoking-related cancers.
