First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether regular follow-up calls or visits from a nurse can help smokers aged 35-65 who are screened for COPD to quit smoking. About 233 participants will receive ongoing nursing support. The goal is to see if this simple, low-cost approach reduces the number of cigarettes smoked per day.
