First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether proactively connecting household smokers to quit-smoking resources through a child's pediatric care visit increases their use of evidence-based treatments and quit rates. Adult household members who smoke are offered options like nicotine replacement, varenicline, quitline support, or text-based programs, along with motivational counseling. The study compares this approach to usual care and also looks at factors that influence success.
