Effectiveness of a Multi-Level Smoking Cessation Program for High-Risk Women in Rural Communities

Sponsor: Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center

Summary

This phase IV trial examines the effectiveness of a multi-level smoking cessation program for high-risk women in rural communities. Cigarette smoking is a major risk factor for cervical cancer in women. Rural primary care practices and providers often lack the electronic health record support to pre-identify smokers for services, as well as lack the necessary counseling training and access to comprehensive cessation programs. Implementing evidence-based smoking cessation programs in rural Appalachia may decrease the rates of cigarette smoking and as a result decrease the rates of cervical cancer.
