This study aims to explore the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a mobile phone-based intervention tailored specifically for smoking parents.
Parental smoking is associated with numerous adverse outcomes, including exposure to secondhand smoke, heightened risk of respiratory illnesses in children, and an increased likelihood that children will adopt smoking behaviors themselves. Despite awareness of these risks, many parents find it challenging to quit smoking due to stress, lack of support, and time constraints.
This randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigates the effectiveness of a mobile phone-based intervention tailored specifically for smoking parents. The intervention group will receive AI-powered chatbot cessation support, while the control group will be provided with brief cessation advice. The study aims to determine whether the AI-driven intervention is more effective in helping parents quit smoking compared to traditional brief advice.
