Actívatexto: Advancing Smoking Cessation and Physical Activity Among Latinos

This study is testing two mobile programs, Actívatexto and Decídetexto, to help Latino adults quit smoking and become more physically active. Actívatexto uses text messages, wearable devices (like a Fitbit), and nicotine replacement therapies (NRT) to help you quit smoking and increase your physical activity. Decídetexto focuses only on quitting smoking, using text messages and NRT. You might be able to join if you are Latino, at least 18 years old, smoke cigarettes at least 3 days a week, want to quit in the next 30 days, and don't get enough physical activity. The study will measure how many people successfully quit smoking after 6 months. The current recruitment status is unclear, and the study plans to enroll 408 participants.
