ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring the best way to help construction workers quit smoking. It aims to find an effective and cost-efficient smoking cessation program tailored specifically for the construction industry. The study is currently looking for participants, including company leaders, safety managers, and construction workers who smoke. To be eligible, construction workers need to be at least 18 years old, have smoked an average of five or more cigarettes daily for the past year, and be ready to make a serious attempt to quit within the next 30 days.

Participants can expect to receive support and training in smoking cessation methods. Company leaders and safety managers will play a key role in helping develop and implement the program. If you are a construction worker, safety manager, or company leader who is interested in making a positive change in your workplace, this trial may be a great opportunity to help yourself and your colleagues quit smoking for good.
