Brief Summary

The purpose of the current study is to pilot the efficacy, feasibility, and acceptability of an evidence-based smoking cessation intervention adapted for cancer patients and delivered via video. Investigators aim to assess if this intervention is considered acceptable by participants, feasible to implement, and effective at increasing knowledge about smoking cessation before conducting a fully powered clinical trial.

Conditions

Cancer; Smoking Cessation

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Acceptability

  Acceptability will be measured using the Acceptability of Intervention measure, which contains four items with answer options on a scale from 1-5, with higher scores indicating higher acceptability. We will consider the intervention "acceptable" if an average score of 4 or higher is obtained.

  1 week post-randomization

• Feasibility

  Feasibility will be measured using the Feasibility of Intervention measure, which contains four items with answer options on a scale from 1-5, with higher scores indicating higher feasibility. We will consider the intervention "feasible" if an average score of 4 or higher is obtained.

  1 week post-randomization

• Retention Rates

  We will determine if there are differences in retention rates between intervention groups.

  1 week, 1 month, and 3 months post-randomization

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Changes in knowledge about quitting smoking

  Baseline, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months post-randomization

• Changes in smoking behaviors

  1 week, 1 month, and 3 months post-randomization
