  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients with newly diagnosed lung cancers will be identified from the daily patient lists at the thoracic oncology clinics at IUSCC, Roudebush VAMC, and Eskenazi. The study coordinator will screen for newly diagnosed lung cancer patients to identify potential family member/caregiver study participants. Patients will be approached and asked whether they have any family members/caregivers who smoke, and if they would be willing to allow the study team to contact those people (or person) with information about the study. For patients who agree and have family members/caregivers present at the clinic visit that day, the study coordinator (or other designated member of the study team) will discuss the purpose of the study and utilize the 5A strategy (Ask, Advice, Assess willingness to quit, Assist, Arrange follow-up) to ascertain interest in participation.

About this study

Official title: Beyond the Lung Cancer Diagnosis: Leveraging the Oncology Clinic Setting as a Potential Teachable Moment for Actively Smoking Family Members

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..

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Digital-based supportBehavioural

    Digital support will consist of referral for the participant to visit https://smokefree.gov, a website which offers a menu of internet- and text-based support options.

  • Traditional-based support + Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT)Behavioural

    Traditional support will consist of participant referral to the Indiana Tobacco Quitline (1-800-QUIT-NOW) which is a telephone hotline that connects participants to Indiana smoking cessation resources.
