About this study

In plain language

This study will develop and test CONNECT ML, a program to help Spanish- and Cantonese-speaking adults quit smoking during lung cancer screening. The program offers a video doctor with personal responses, text and phone support, and help from a pharmacist to get nicotine replacement medicine.

This study aims to broaden the reach of the lung cancer screening (LCS) CONNECT program (NCT04149249, NCT06213532), by developing a version of the program to be available to multilingual communities. The CONNECT program encourages individuals who are undergoing lung cancer screening to also quit smoking by providing a personalized program which includes a video doctor with personalized responses, text message and telephone call support and connection with a pharmacist to assist in obtaining nicotine replacement medication. This clinical trial will develop and ultimately test how well the CONNECT Multilingual (CONNECT ML) program works to improve smoking cessation among current adult smokers within the Spanish and Cantonese speaking communities.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
