Summary
Understanding ways to help people who live in rural areas quit smoking is a public health priority. quitting smoking among rural people who smoke is a critical public health concern. People in rural areas smoke at higher rates than those in urban areas, experience high rates of smoking caused cancers and deaths. We are recruiting rural people from around the country to better understand how different quit smoking methods can improve a person's chances of successfully quitting smoking.
Detailed Description
This is a SMART, where eligible rural people who smoke (RPWS) can be randomized up to two times to different resources/ways to help quit smoking. For each randomization, participants will use the assigned resources for 3 months, and partake in surveys at baseline, 1, and 3 months, during which they will be asked several questions related to use of resources, and smoking behavior. Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaled breath will be collected at 3 months using iCO™ Smokerlyzer® (https://www.icoquit.com/us/) to determine biochemically confirmed abstinence.
