Quit-Smoking Study for Native Hawaiians

Summary

This study aims to help Native Hawaiian adults quit smoking by testing two common methods: nicotine gum and group-based counseling. Participants will be assigned to one of three groups: (1) nicotine gum only, (2) group counseling only, or (3) a combination of both. The study will take place at public housing sites on O'ahu. Researchers will check if these approaches-alone or in combination-can support people in successfully quitting smoking. The goal is to find out which method works best and is most acceptable in this community.
