First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a program called ENHANCE-TTS that trains pharmacists at HIV clinics to provide tobacco treatment. Researchers will see if the program helps pharmacists offer more smoking cessation services and if it helps patients quit. About 172 people from six clinics will take part.

Active substance

behavioral intervention (ENHANCE-TTS program: team-building, pharmacist training, facilitation, and tools)

What this could lead to

If successful, this program could help more people with HIV quit smoking by making it easier to get tobacco treatment from their pharmacist.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage study focused on implementation, not a direct test of a new drug. It may not show a clear benefit for quitting smoking, and results may not apply to all clinics.
