Scalable tobacco-cessation support for cancer survivors and their caregivers

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The program combines a tailored cessation intervention for cancer survivors and their family members/caregivers who use tobacco with brief healthcare provider training in the AAC (Ask, Advise, Connect) model and C-LEAR communication skills. Patients and caregivers who report any tobacco or nicotine use in the past month and receive care in participating UF Health clinics will be enrolled. The approach is designed to integrate cessation support into oncology, urology, and radiation clinic workflows to be scalable and accessible. Outcomes will focus on engagement, quit attempts, and feasibility of broader implementation.
