Developing a Scalable Tobacco Cessation Program for Cancer Survivors and Caregivers

Sponsor: University of Florida

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

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.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Nicotine cessation program

All participants will complete a nicotine cessation program designed by Area Health Education Center (AHEC). The focus is on known tobacco cessation techniques and motivations to quit with additional focuses on cancer survivors and caregivers. The program consists of 4 sessions (each session is approximately 60 minutes long) that will be delivered by a Tobacco Treatment Specialist by either videoconference or by telephone. Dyad enrollees (i.e., cancer survivors and their caregiver/family member) will complete sessions together. Participants will also be eligible for free nicotine replacement therapy while on study if medically appropriate.
