Brief Summary

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

Research efforts are needed to increase tobacco cessation support and to improve tobacco cessation efficacy. In addition, strategies must be identified to increase access to smoking cessation support and to develop processes to integrate smoking cessation into treatment plans for cancer patients.

Detailed Description

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

The Cancer Patient Tobacco Questionnaire (C-TUQ) survey tool will be used to address the primary and secondary outcome measures. This tool is publicly available on the National Cancer Institutes Grid-Enabled Measures website and was developed by NCI and the American Association for Cancer Research. This tool is a 22-item self-report survey designed to capture information about tobacco use by cancer patients and cancer survivors. Comparisons will be made for those patients that enroll in the structured smoking cessation program versus those patients that have opted to quit on their own.

Primary:

To determine the effectiveness of an intensive structured smoking cessation program (education and support) provided by a tobacco cessation trained specialist versus unassisted smoking cessation quitting methods (no support, patients have opted to stop on their own) in cancer patients seen in a community health care system

Secondary:

* Self-reported 7-day point-prevalence smoking abstinence at 6-month follow-up in patients participating in a structured smoking cessation program versus those patients that have quit smoking with professional support
* Self-reported 7-day point-prevalence smoking abstinence at 12-month follow-up in patients participating in a structured smoking cessation program versus those patients that have quit smoking without professional support, participants choosing to stop smoking on their own.
* Examine the impact of implementing a system level smoking cessation program into the ongoing management of our cancer patients who smoke.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Assisted Smoking Cessation

Subject participates in a structured smoking cessation program hosted at Virtua Health which may be either smoking cessation group sessions or individual sessions and/or both. All participants will be provided with a list of smoking cessation resources.

Description of Group Smoking Education and Support: These sessions are led by a Tobacco Treatment Specialist and include 2-3 sessions in-person or virtually and cover the following topics: Biological changes caused by nicotine, addiction, tips to quit smoking, health benefits to quitting smoking, types of nicotine replacement therapy, e-cigarettes and devices, aromatherapy, meditation and various resources. In addition, access to nicotine replacement therapies is optional.
