Why is it important?
Both telephone and videoconferencing counseling interventions are effective if they are adapted at a deep cultural level but the videoconferencing intervention is feasible only for women younger than 50 years old.
Perspectives
I want others to study a videoconferencing smoking cessation intervention for women of other racial and ethnic groups and compare their findings with those reported in this article.
