About this trial
Smoking remains a significant global health challenge, causing over 8 million deaths annually, with the burden predominantly in low- and middle-income countries. Jordan experiences some of the highest smoking rates worldwide, contributing to substantial health risks and premature mortality. Despite the prevalence of mobile health (mHealth) applications for smoking cessation, few have supported the Arabic language and none have been evaluated for their efficacy. Our main goal is to develop a culture-sensitive mHealth app in Arabic for smoking cessation and test its efficacy.
