This clinical trial develops and tests a self-help smoking cessation intervention to motivate cancer patients to quit smoking. The smoking cessation intervention consist of self-help materials designed to help cancer patients understand the relevance of smoking upon their cancer, its successful treatment, and their recovery. A motivational smoking cessation intervention may increase motivation to quit smoking, and ultimately smoking cessation itself, among a wide spectrum of cancer patients.
Study sponsor and potential other locations can be found on ClinicalTrials.gov for NCT04914000.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To develop, using a systematic, iterative process, a minimal intervention, specific for each cancer type, to increase motivation to quit smoking in patients recently diagnosed with a cancer not widely known to be associated with smoking.
II. To assess feasibility and acceptability of the intervention among the target populations.
OUTLINE:
AIM I: Patients complete an audio-recorded interview over 1 hour.
AIM II. Patients receive smoking cessation materials consisting of a booklet/pamphlet corresponding to their specific cancer type and an insert describing the smoking cessation services offered at Moffitt Cancer Center (MCC), with contact information for the tobacco treatment specialist (TTS).
After completion of study, patients are followed up at 1 week and 1 month.
