Codevelopment, Implementation, and Evaluation of an AI-powered Conversational Interface for Tobacco Cessation: Protocol for a Single-Group Pre-Post Study
Background Despite several efforts to expand tobacco cessation services through tobacco cessation centers (TCCs) and quit lines, key operational challenges still persist. Recently, AI-based digital interventions have shown promise globally for smoking cessation; however, they remain underused in tobacco cessation strategy in the Indian context. Objective This study aimed to (1) codevelop the conversational interface with beneficiaries and cessation providers; (2) assess its feasibility, acceptability, usability,…
Tobacco cessation services in India still face operational challenges, and AI-based digital tools remain underused there, leaving a gap the planned chatbot pilot aims to address.
The single-group pre-post design has no control arm, so findings will be preliminary and hypothesis-generating rather than causal evidence of the intervention's impact.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1761 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
