Rural COPD E-Visit Study
Sponsor: Medical University of South Carolina
Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate an electronic visit (e-visit) for COPD screening and for quitting smoking. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the smoking cessation e-visit or not. The e-visit will look similar to an online questionnaire asking about smoking history, preferences for cessation medications, and chronic COPD symptoms. Participants may receive a prescription for a smoking cessation medication as an outcome of the e-visit, if randomized to the e-visit group, but there is no requirement to take any medication. This study consists of questionnaires and breath samples provided at 4 separate time points throughout the study. Participation in this study will take about 24 weeks.
