Summary

This study tests a program that combines community health worker visits with a smartphone app to help low-income women stop smoking. About 344 women in Brazil will either get the app plus health worker support or just a referral to a standard quit-smoking clinic. The goal is to see if more women stay smoke-free for at least 7 days after 6 months.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: Community health worker visits plus a smartphone app to support quitting smoking
What this could lead to: If it works, this could provide an effective, low-cost way to help women quit smoking in underserved communities.
What could go wrong: This is a mid-stage trial with 431 participants, so results may not apply to all smokers. The program relies on smartphone access and community health workers, which may limit use in some areas.
