Beyond the Lung Cancer Diagnosis: Leveraging the Oncology Clinic Setting for Actively Smoking Family Members
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this pilot study is to examine, in an innovative setting, the potential for a lung cancer diagnosis in a loved one to represent a teachable moment for smoking cessation in family members or caregivers who are current smokers. The researchers will identify the willingness and preferred modality for smoking cessation among family members/caregivers in this setting. The researchers will estimate abstinence rates at 4, 8, 12, and 24 weeks..
