Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This trial aims to develop an electronic learning (eLearning) program and mobile tool for Spanish and Portuguese speaking cancer care providers to use in tobacco counseling of their patients. This study may provide information for the design and implementation of tobacco cessation training programs directed to this group of professionals in low- and middle-income countries for the Latin American region.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To develop and test the feasibility of an eLearning program on brief tobacco counseling specifically designed for Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking cancer care providers.

II. To linguistically/culturally tailor and test a mobile tool designed to assist in providing effective tobacco counseling and treatment.
