ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new way to help smokers quit using support from pharmacists. Specifically, the trial will look at whether talking to a pharmacist over the phone can encourage smokers to stop smoking, especially for those who are already being screened for lung cancer. The researchers want to find out if smokers are willing to participate in this program and if those who receive the pharmacist's help are more likely to quit compared to those who do not.

To be eligible for the trial, participants need to be current smokers who are part of the Lung Cancer Screening Program. Participants in the study will complete a survey at the beginning and end of the trial. Those in the intervention group will also have phone calls with a pharmacist at various points over three months to discuss their smoking habits and receive support. This trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to provide valuable insights into effective ways to help people quit smoking.
