Study Summary

This trial will test whether giving OB clinicians tailored smoking cessation counseling training, in addition to smoking cessation support messages for patients, will help patients quit smoking.

What is being tested?
The study tests whether combining SMS smoking cessation messages with specialized training for OB clinicians improves quitting rates among pregnant smokers compared to just receiving the messages. Participants will be analyzed based on their quit rates and interactions with clinicians.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
