Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The proposed study tests the efficacy of using pager-assisted messages combined with nicotine patches in facilitating smoking cessation and relapse prevention in a 2-arm randomized clinical trial. The hypothesis is that the proportion of biochemically-verified quitters at 3 and 12 months in the study arm randomized to receive therapeutic messages on alphanumeric pagers for 3 months along with individual smoking cessation counseling and nicotine patches will be greater that the proportion of biochemically-verified quitters who receive only individual smoking cessation counseling and nicotine patches.
