A Remote Pharmacist Intervention to Improve Smoking Cessation

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿง  Behavioral & Psychological Program Sponsor: University of Iowa

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The goal of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a remote pharmacist intervention to help smokers quit. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Will smokers being screened for lung cancer with low-radiation-level chest computed tomography (CT) be willing to participate in this study and talk to the pharmacist about smoking cessation? * Will those in the intervention group be more likely to report smoking cessation than those in the control group. Participants in the intervention group will be asked to complete a baseline survey; speak with a pharmacist via phone call at baseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks, 10 weeks, and 12 weeks; and complete an exit survey. Participants in the control group will be asked to complete a baseline survey and an exit survey.
