Detailed Description

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

The investigators plan to conduct a 2-month 1-arm intervention study that will recruit up to 20 smoking cancer patients at Penn State Cancer Institute. All participants will receive a smoking cessation educational brochure and patient navigation intervention (in-person or by phone) delivered over two months. At the first intervention interview, the patient navigators will educate participants about the benefits of quitting, introduce smoking cessation resources, motivate participants to link with treatment, help participants attend smoking cessation treatments, and assess barriers that prevented them from being able to consider smoking cessation. The cessation treatment resources will be discussed include PennState Health Smoking Cessation Clinic, Pennsylvania Quitline, or visiting their primary care provider (PCP) to discuss cessation, prescription medications, and/or nicotine replacement therapy. A follow-up call will be made 1 month later to further assist and motivate to use tobacco treatment services, and assess interim tobacco treatment engagement outcome. At 2 months after baseline, the final questionnaire will be administered to assess participants' smoking behaviors, engagement in tobacco treatments, and satisfaction with the intervention.
