Summary

This study tests whether sending different types of messages through a patient portal can encourage smokers to connect with a free quitline coach. About 3000 adult smokers at a health center will receive either a choice-based message, a direct quit message, or just information. The goal is to see which approach gets more people to actually speak with a coach and eventually 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
behavioral intervention (patient portal messages and quitline referral)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a low-cost, scalable way to help many smokers quit through their patient portal.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral study, not a drug trial. Success depends on patients opening messages and following through, which may not happen for many.
