Text-based quit smoking program for rural cancer survivors
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a text message program to help people who have had cancer quit smoking. It is designed for those living in rural areas and aims to see if this program can support them in stopping smoking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a cancer diagnosis in the past 10 years (including DCIS, and you can currently be on treatment).
