Summary

This trial tests a computer program called Adapt2Quit that sends personalized motivational text messages to help smokers quit. The messages are chosen based on how each participant rates them, aiming to be more effective than standard quitline texts. The study involves socioeconomically disadvantaged smokers who are current smokers and have a texting-enabled phone. The main goal is to see if these tailored messages lead to more people quitting smoking, verified by breath tests at six months.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could offer a low-cost, scalable way to help socioeconomically disadvantaged smokers quit, reducing smoking-related health disparities.
What could go wrong
