Summary
This study tested a mobile phone-based wellness program (WISH) to help veterans with HIV quit smoking. 234 participants were split into two groups: one received the WISH program, the other got standard care (quitline and text support). The goal was to see if the wellness program led to more quit attempts and sustained abstinence.
