| Summary | The study goal is to get feedback on ways researchers can communicate complex research findings on smoking cessation to better inform patients' decisions to use medication and/or quit smoking. This will help researchers and clinicians to provide effective, easy-to-implement treatments designed to address tobacco-related health disparities in Black and other racial/ethnic subgroups. It will also help improve health literacy to change misperceptions and mistrust on uptake of varenicline and other medication for quitting smoking. A professionally made video will explain research findings relevant for varenicline's mechanisms and outcomes relative to other treatment options. There are 2 parts to this study: * Part 1: Focus Group to help develop the educational tool intervention * Part 2: Rando |
