Could a child's doctor visit spark a parent's quit-smoking journey?
NCT ID NCT06582693
First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether proactively connecting household smokers to quit-smoking resources through a child's pediatric care visit increases their use of evidence-based treatments and quit rates. Adult household members who smoke are offered options like nicotine replacement, varenicline, quitline support, or text-based programs, along with motivational counseling. The study compares this approach to usual care and also looks at factors that influence success.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Refer2Quit intervention: automatic connection to evidence-based tobacco treatments (varenicline, nicotine replacement therapy, quitline, smokefreeTXT) plus motivational counseling and text messaging
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this approach could help more household smokers quit, reducing secondhand smoke exposure for children and improving family health.
- What could go wrong
- The trial relies on self-reported quit rates and may not reach all smokers. Success depends on participant engagement, and results may not generalize beyond this pediatric network.
