This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether a texting program that's customized for American Indian people can help them quit smoking more effectively. You would receive text messages for 6 months designed to support your quit attempt, and the research team will compare how well this personalized approach works compared to a standard texting program that's made for a general audience.
Most smoking cessation programs aren't designed with American Indian culture and values in mind, which can make them less helpful for this community. This trial aims to see if a program tailored specifically for American Indian people can be more effective at helping them quit smoking successfully.

You'll be randomly assigned to receive either the customized texting program or the standard texting program for 6 months. During that time, you'll receive text messages to support your quit attempt, and you'll complete surveys at the start, and at 1, 3, and 6 months asking about how you're using the program and your smoking behavior. At some of these visits, you'll also do a simple breath test to measure carbon monoxide levels, which shows whether you've been smoking.
