First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a proactive, culturally tailored outreach program to help BIPOC adults who smoke quit tobacco. Researchers will enroll 700 participants from two health systems and provide personalized materials and support to connect them with proven cessation treatments. The goal is to see if this approach increases quit rates and reduces tobacco-related heart disease disparities.
