Summary

This trial tests whether a school-based program can help parents stop smoking. About 700 families with a smoking parent will take part. The program includes education, motivation support, and relapse prevention delivered both in person and online. Success is measured by whether parents quit smoking for at least 24 hours, confirmed by a urine test.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: Family-school based smoking cessation intervention package (behavioral)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could provide an effective, scalable way to help parents quit smoking through school involvement.
What could go wrong: This is a behavioral intervention, not a drug, so results depend on participation and follow-through. The trial is still enrolling and outcomes are measured at 6 months only.
