Study Summary
This trial compared two programs to help African American women quit smoking: one was tailored to the group, the other to individuals.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for African American women who currently smoke at least 5 cigarettes daily and have been doing so for the past year. They must be in good health, as determined by their medical history, and able to give informed consent. It's not open to pregnant women, those with cardiovascular or lung diseases, mental illness, prisoners, or anyone unable to consent.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing two different tobacco cessation programs over a period of 6 weeks. One program offers culturally tailored advice through newsletters while the other provides personalized culturally-tailored guidance. The goal is to see which method helps more in quitting smoking.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves behavioral interventions like receiving newsletters and counseling rather than medication, there are no direct side effects from drugs; however participants may experience stress or anxiety related to attempting smoking cessation.
