Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Take a Break (TAB) is a randomized trial designed to evaluate Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT)-sampling and a mHealth suite of apps. TAB is a time-limited self-efficacy and skills building experience for Motivation Phase smokers. TAB is designed to create a timeline within which motivation smokers will be encouraged to try a brief period of abstinence. Smokers in this Motivation Phase are relatively untapped in research available information. This project offers these smokers point-of-need technology support in the many components of the intervention..
