FRESH Delivers: An Innovative Approach to Reducing Tobacco Use Among Rural Smokers

Running, not enrolling · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Tobacco Cessation, Tobacco Dependence, Food Security

In brief

The long-term goal of FRESH Delivers is to fill a critical gap in knowledge on the role of a home-based food delivery social intervention in the elimination of tobacco-caused cancer health burdens. The central hypothesis is that smokers who receive real-time video-based motivational counseling and home-based food deliveries will have greater cotinine-verified 7-day point prevalence abstinence than those who receive real-time video-based motivational counseling alone or home food delivery alone. The rationale for this approach is that studies show increased odds of smoking cessation with increasing food security.
