Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (18+) with any cancer history who smoke at least one cigarette per day and engage in at-risk alcohol use, are motivated to quit both within 30 days, and reside in Florida.

Probably not a fit

Individuals not seeking to quit smoking or modify drinking in the near term, or those outside Florida residency requirements, may experience little or no benefit.

What this trial studies

The trial compares MBRP-SA to standard care for adults with a history of cancer who smoke and engage in at-risk alcohol use. It will include brain-behavior-focused interventions delivered across medical centers and community settings in Florida, with additional analyses on cost, implementation, and potential moderators of treatment effects. Researchers will gather stakeholder input through structured interviews and perform an incremental cost-effectiveness analysis. The study will also explore how and for whom the intervention works best, aiming to inform future adoption in cancer care.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants could achieve higher quit rates for smoking and reduced risky alcohol use, potentially improving cancer-related outcomes and quality of life.

How similar studies have gone: Earlier studies of mindfulness-based relapse prevention approaches have shown promise in substance use contexts, with mixed results across populations; this trial applies a cancer-survivor focus to test feasibility and efficacy.
