Can a phone app help smokers with mental illness quit?
NCT ID NCT05030272
Summary
This study tested whether a smartphone app designed specifically for people with serious mental illness could help them quit smoking better than standard advice. Over 300 participants with conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or depression were randomly assigned to use the 'Quit on the Go' app or receive brief counseling. Everyone also received nicotine patches and gum. The main goal was to see which approach led to more people being smoke-free after six months.
