Summary

This trial tests ways to help more tobacco users at community health centers sign up for quitline support. Researchers compare strategies like clinic prompts that connect patients directly to a quitline and text messages offering enrollment. The goal is to see which approach increases the number of people who start treatment and quit smoking.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Ask-Advise-Connect (eReferral) and text messaging to connect tobacco users with quitline treatment
What this could lead to
If effective, these strategies could help more people quit smoking, reducing tobacco-related illness and death.
What could go wrong
