Study Summary

This trial will test if a proactive, electronic tobacco treatment intervention can help smokers with COPD quit smoking.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for smokers with COPD who are veterans, currently enrolled in MyHealtheVet secure messaging, have had at least one medical visit in the past year, and are confirmed as current smokers. It's not for those already in VA tobacco treatment, non-English speakers, hospice patients, cancer patients under active treatment or individuals with advanced dementia.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing an electronic proactive outreach program designed to help smokers with COPD quit smoking. The program will be delivered via text or secure messaging instead of phone calls. Participants will either receive usual care or the new intervention to see if it increases engagement in quitting programs and success rates.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves a behavioral intervention rather than medication, there aren't typical drug side effects. However, participants may experience stress or frustration related to quitting smoking efforts.
