About this study

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess oncology providers' self-reported need for training on evidence-based tobacco cessation strategies and assess their level of interest in future training on evidence-based tobacco cessation strategies.

II. To test the feasibility of the implementation of evidence-based tobacco cessation strategies in community oncology clinics.

III. To test the feasibility of surveying community oncology patients after a clinic visit to assess provider behavior regarding screening and brief intervention for tobacco use.

OUTLINE:

Patients complete a survey over approximately 10-15 minutes related to their provider's cessation advice and assistance with quitting.

After completion of study, patients are followed up at 1 month.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of providers from the Piedmont Oncology Association (POA) reporting a need for training on evidence-based tobacco cessation strategies

    Time frame: Up to 1 month

    Will be estimated and 95% confidence intervals (CI) constructed.

  2. Percentage reporting feeling very confident in their ability to counsel smokers

    Time frame: Up to 1 month

    Will be estimated and 95% CI constructed.

  3. Percentage reporting they would be willing to participate in training on evidence-based tobacco cessation strategies

    Time frame: Up to 1 month

    Will be estimated and 95% CI constructed.

  4. Proportion of oncology patients willing to complete a survey in an oncology clinic

    Time frame: Up to 1 month

    Will be estimated and 95% CI constructed.

  5. Proportion of patients who report that their provider asked about tobacco use during their visit

    Time frame: Up to 1 month

    These prevalences will be estimated at pre- and post-intervention, and 95% CIs calculated adjusting for the expected within-clinic correlation of patient outcomes. These outcomes will be analyzed further using a subject-specific modeling approach to account for the correlation that occurs due to patients being clustered within clinics.

  6. Proportion of current smokers who report that their provider advised them to quit during their visit and provided tobacco-cessation strategies

    Time frame: Up to 1 month

    These prevalences will be estimated at pre- and post-intervention, and 95% CIs calculated adjusting for the expected within-clinic correlation of patient outcomes. These outcomes will be analyzed further using a subject-specific modeling approach to account for the correlation that occurs due to patients being clustered within clinics.
