Summary
This study tested a program called Comprehensive Chronic Care (CCC) that uses regular phone calls, texts, and mailings to encourage smokers to quit. Nearly 1,000 adult smokers from primary care clinics were randomly assigned to receive either CCC or standard care (one annual offer of help). The main goal was to see if more people in the CCC group had stopped smoking after 18 months, confirmed by a breath test. The study also looked at cost-effectiveness and how many people engaged with the program.
