Summary
This study tested a computer program called C-Raven that uses an interactive avatar to help people quit smoking. Participants used an iPad for two 20-minute sessions and could get nicotine replacement therapy and support from a community health worker. The study was small (18 people) and focused on whether the program was easy to use and acceptable in clinic settings.
