Chapman University received a $649,603 Project Grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393), awarded June 15, 2026, with a completion date of May 31, 2031. The TRAQ-TO-QUIT (Tracking Residential Air Quality to Quit Smoking) initiative delivers a comprehensive, multilevel smoking cessation intervention targeting low-income communities by integrating three evidence-based approaches: pediatrician brief advice and referral to cessation services, novel behavioral tele-counseling focused on establishing smokefree homes, and an Internet-of-Things (IoT) indoor air quality monitoring system. The project leverages state-of-the-art smart home devices that continuously measure residential air quality and provide objective feedback to both smokers and tele-counselors, enabling data-guided, individualized problem-solving to support long-term smoking abstinence. The intervention will be evaluated through a randomized controlled trial enrolling 272 parent and caregiver smokers referred from safety-net pediatric health systems in low-income areas, building upon the successful methodologies demonstrated in prior NCI-funded trials (KISS and Project Fresh Air). By combining real-time air quality monitoring with behavioral counseling, TRAQ-TO-QUIT aims to strengthen the home-level intervention components of previous research and enhance the efficacy of smoking cessation treatment for vulnerable populations where most unregulated smoking occurs within residential environments.Federal Grant Award Summary
