Summary

This study is testing two remote programs—a chatbot app called QuitBot and a text messaging service—to help American Indian and Alaska Native adults quit smoking. About 772 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the programs. The goal is to see which approach works better for helping people stay smoke-free and reduce their risk of smoking-related cancers.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
QuitBot chatbot and text messaging program
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide an effective, culturally tailored digital tool to help American Indian and Alaska Native people quit smoking and lower their cancer risk.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral intervention trial, not a drug or cure. Success depends on engagement, and results may not apply to other populations. The study is not yet recruiting.
