ChatGPT-Supported Text Messaging Program for Smoking Cessation

This study is testing if a text messaging program called BeFree, combined with a ChatGPT chatbot called BBot (BeFree+Bot), is more effective at helping people quit smoking than BeFree alone. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, live in the US, have smoked in the last 7 days, and have a mobile phone to receive texts for 30 days. The study will look at how many people achieve continuous abstinence (not smoking at all) one month after starting the program. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
This study is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 150 participants. It compares two groups: one receiving BeFree+Bot and another receiving BeFree.
What's involved
You would be willing to receive text messages about the health effects of smoking on your mobile phone for 30 days.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed up at 1 month to measure continuous abstinence.
