Comparing Smartphone to In-person Training to Scale Up a Tobacco Control Program for Teachers in India
This study aims to compare the implementation and effectiveness of the Tobacco-Free Teachers, Tobacco-Free Society (TFT-TFS) program when delivered through in-person training vs. a smartphone-based training model. Investigators will conduct a comparative effectiveness trial using a cluster-randomized design in which headmasters at schools in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh (MP) will be trained in person or via a smartphone to deliver TFT-TFS in their schools. Schools will be randomly assigned to each training arm, and investigators will compare program effectiveness (tobacco use cessation), implementation outcomes, and program cost and reach.
