Nudge study aims to help HIV smokers quit
NCT ID NCT05852860
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether sending reminders (nudges) to doctors, patients, or both can increase the number of people with HIV who smoke getting help to quit. About 500 patients and their doctors are involved. The goal is to see if these nudges lead to more referrals and participation in tobacco treatment programs.
