Implementation of a System-level Tobacco Treatment Intervention in Thoracic Oncology

The proposed study plans to adapt and study the implementation and effectiveness of
integrating Clinical and Community Effort Against Secondhand smoke Exposure (CEASE) into the
thoracic oncology setting using mixed methods.

In particular the study aims to see if participants are asked about their smoking status and
what services are offered if someone indicates being a former or current smoker. Findings
from this study will help improve a standard of care at this clinic and allow us to
understand what type of tobacco treatment services are preferred by patients.

- Adaption of CEASE will entail exit interviews with patients and individual interviews
with clinical staff to identify and address facilitators and barriers to the
implementation process.

- Effectiveness of CEASE will be measured through questionnaires & biochemical
verification of smoking status using a pre-test/post-test study design before (usual
care)and after implementation (CEASE)

Inclusion Criteria:

- Age ≥ 18

- Have an actual or potential diagnosis of thoracic malignancy
