Description
Yunfei Wang and co-authors train Chinese health workers to help patients quit smoking, through messages on a chat app, in a trial reported from 2024. Standard quit-smoking care is rarely used by providers in China. A phone program could close the gap cheaply at scale.
Nearly nineteen hundred providers were split at random. The trained group got program messages for eight weeks; the control group got thank-you notes. Both got a printed manual. Follow-up ran to thirty-four weeks. The measure was how often providers used behavior and drug quit aids with smoking patients. At twenty weeks the trained group used the aids more. The authors back app-based training for busy clinics.
