What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating a tobacco cessation program tailored for cancer survivors and their family members or caregivers who use tobacco. The study also involves training healthcare providers in a specific model to better help patients quit tobacco. This program aims to address the unique challenges faced by people trying to quit tobacco after a cancer diagnosis by providing support that includes caregivers as well as survivors themselves. Participants will complete a nicotine cessation program consisting of four sessions lasting about 60 minutes each. These sessions will be delivered by a Tobacco Treatment Specialist through videoconference or telephone. Cancer survivors and their caregivers may participate together. Those who qualify may also receive free nicotine replacement therapy during the study. Additionally, healthcare providers will be trained using the AAC model and communication skills to support tobacco cessation in cancer care. During the study, participants will undergo assessments to measure program reach, effectiveness in helping people quit tobacco, satisfaction, adherence, and perspectives on the program's feasibility and acceptability. Healthcare providers’ adoption and perspectives on the intervention will also be evaluated. The study includes baseline assessment and follow-up periods up to 18 months. Participants can expect regular contact and support throughout the program, with evaluations occurring during and after treatment completion.
