Can culturally tailored programs help black smokers quit for good?
NCT ID NCT07419425
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study compares three different quit-smoking programs for Black adults who smoke and want to quit. Participants will receive nicotine patches plus either standard quitline calls, more intensive counseling, or intensive counseling with financial incentives. The goal is to see which approach works best for long-term quitting, measured by a saliva test at 26 weeks.
