Study Summary

This trial is testing a new way to help lung cancer patients quit smoking, by framed messaging and nicotine replacement therapy. If successful, this study could help many people quit smoking.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for English-speaking individuals over 50 who currently smoke and have a significant smoking history. They must be willing to be randomly assigned to different treatments. People with recent heart issues, allergies to adhesives, unstable health conditions, or those already in tobacco treatment programs cannot join.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study compares two approaches: gain-framed messaging plus Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) versus standard unframed messages about quitting smoking. It's designed for lung cancer screening patients and aims to see which method helps them stop smoking more effectively.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While the trial primarily focuses on messaging strategies, NRT can cause side effects like skin irritation from patches, sleep problems if used close to bedtime, headache, nausea, dizziness or racing heartbeat.
