What the study is about

Given the challenges to delivering tobacco cessation treatment in oncology care and the unique challenges faced by individuals attempting to quit tobacco after a cancer diagnosis, scalable cessation programs that are tailored to the experiences of cancer survivors that also integrate caregiver/family support are needed. To address this need, this study will use an intervention that consists of two primary strategies: 1) a tailored cessation program for cancer survivors and family members/caregivers who use tobacco and 2) healthcare provider training.

Healthcare providers will receive training on the AAC model (Ask patients about tobacco use, Advise patients to quit, Connect patients to cessation resources), including materials focused on tobacco cessation in cancer care from the CDC, as well as a brief evidence-based communication skills training based on the C-LEAR (Counsel, Listen, Empathize, Answer, Recommend) approach.

Being studied: Nicotine cessation program

Conditions: Nicotine Use; Tobacco Use
