Official title
The Efficacy of Telephone Counseling and the Centralized Distribution of Nicotine Replacement Therapy Through a Smoking Cessation Quitline
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine the effects of distributing free nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) to tobacco quitline callers directly. Specifically, this study aims to: 1. Test if sending active nicotine patches directly will lead to a higher quit rate, compared to a condition where the quitline assists the smokers to obtain patches by other means (e.g. via their health plans). 2. Test if sending placebo patches directly will also lead to a higher quit rate. 3. Test if quitline counseling increases the quit rate when the smokers already receive the nicotine patches.
