New program aims to help rural women quit smoking and cut cancer risk
NCT ID NCT04340531
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a program to help women in rural Appalachian communities quit smoking. Cigarette smoking is a major cause of cervical cancer, but rural clinics often lack resources to support quitting. The program trains healthcare providers to identify smokers, offer advice, and connect them with counseling. Researchers will measure how well the program works and whether it helps women stay smoke-free.
