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.
