Evaluating a Telemedicine Smoking Cessation Program in Rural Primary Care Practices

Completed · Phase 3

Conditions studied: Smoking

In brief

People who smoke cigarettes and live in rural areas may not have access to a wide variety of resources to help them stop smoking. This study will evaluate two smoking cessation programs-an Internet-based telemedicine program and a telephone-based quitline program-among rural residents.
