What the study is about

The study team proposes a multi-level trial to test 1) novel implementation programs in rural counties designed to increase access to 2) recent advances in tobacco control services for people who are not-yet-ready-to-quit smoking. In this field, most trials have focused only on those already ready-to-quit. Thus, the proposed trial addresses an important knowledge gap critical to advance tobacco control in rural areas.

Being studied: Take a Break plus Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) Sampling; The Comparison; Community Paramedicine Standard Plus Enhanced Implementation Program; Community Paramedicine Standard Implementation Program

Conditions: Smoking; Smoking Behaviors; Smoking Cessation
