RECRUITING

Clinical Alternatives for Reducing Harm Using E-cigarettes

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

For patients in cancer care, quitting smoking is critical, but a significant portion of patients in cancer care refuse all components of tobacco treatment, even when offered free of charge. The proposed clinical trial will assess one harm reduction intervention, switching completely from cigarettes to e-cigarettes, among oncology outpatients who smoke and refuse traditional tobacco treatment. This study is a type 1 hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial among oncology outpatients at an NCI-designated cancer center who smoke and refuse all components of tobacco treatment (N=208).
