E-Visit for COPD and Smoking Cessation

Development and Testing of an Electronic Visit for COPD Early Detection and Smoking Cessation

The goal of this work is to develop, refine, and pilot test an electronic visit (e-visit) to: 1) deliver smoking cessation treatment to adults at risk for COPD and 2) to improve rates of COPD early detection and accurate diagnosis. The investigators will conduct a pilot RCT of the COPD/smoking cessation e-visit as compared to treatment as usual (TAU), with primary objective to provide effect size estimates for a larger RCT.
