Brief Summary
This study will examine the efficacy of Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention for Smoking and Alcohol (MBRP-SA) compared to standard care among cancer survivors who smoke cigarettes and engage in at-risk alcohol use. Investigators will evaluate implementation outcomes through structured stakeholder interviews across medical centers, cancer-focused organizations, and community-based programs in Florida, and will conduct a cost-assessment and an incremental cost-effectiveness analysis of the two conditions.

Study Arms (2)
Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention for Smoking and Alcohol (MBRP-SA)
EXPERIMENTALParticipants randomized to this condition will receive a mindfulness-based intervention delivered in a group format via Zoom.
Quitline Support
EXPERIMENTALParticipants randomized to this condition will be connected to the Florida Tobacco Quitline for smoking cessation services, as well as receive community referrals for alcohol use treatment.
Interventions
MBRP-SA is a nine-week, group-based mindfulness program designed to help cancer survivors quit smoking and reduce heavy alcohol use by targeting craving, stress, and habitual behavior patterns. Participants will also receive 10 weeks of nicotine replacement therapy.
Participants will be connected to the Florida Tobacco Quitline, which provides standard evidence-based smoking cessation support, including phone-based counseling, web-based resources, and access to text-messaging programs. The Quitline also offers up to a four-week supply of nicotine replacement therapy (patches, gum, or lozenges). Participants will also receive referrals to various alcohol-related treatment options in the community.
