Pharmacists join the fight: new program aims to help HIV patients kick the habit
NCT ID NCT07501624
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a program called ENHANCE-TTS that trains pharmacists at HIV clinics to provide tobacco treatment. Researchers will see if the program helps pharmacists offer more smoking cessation services and if it helps patients quit. About 172 people from six clinics will take part.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- behavioral intervention (ENHANCE-TTS program: team-building, pharmacist training, facilitation, and tools)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could help more people with HIV quit smoking by making it easier to get tobacco treatment from their pharmacist.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study focused on implementation, not a direct test of a new drug. It may not show a clear benefit for quitting smoking, and results may not apply to all clinics.
