Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The proposed study is a two-armed randomized controlled clinical trial examining the long-term (one-year) efficacy of telephone intervention conditions for smoking cessation in a high risk medical population; namely, cancer survivors: Proactive telephone recruitment through the Childhood Cancer Survivors Survey (CCSS) St. Jude Life Study, After Completion of Therapy (ACT) Clinic and face to face recruitment at the local West Clinics will serve as the primary methods of recruitment. The specific aims of the study : (1) To recruit nationally a cohort of approximately 1242 smokers who are cancer survivors(621 childhood cancer survivors and 621 adult cancer survivors); 2) To determine the long-term (one year) efficacy of the intervention condition for participants randomly assigned to the Counselor-initiated versus a Self-paced QL; and (3) to find out whether treatment outcomes vary as a function of survivors' age of cancer diagnosis (survivors who diagnosed while adults vs. childhood cancer survivors who diagnosed before the age of 21).

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants smokes cigarettes * Participants is a cancer survivor * Participant must be at least 18 years of age. * Childhood cancer survivors must be at least one year out active cancer treatment. * Participant understands consent procedures. * Participant speaks English. * Participant must have access to a telephone for participation Exclusion Criteria: * Inability to understand consent procedures * Participants with a known contraindication or sensitivity to nicotine replacement therapy may participate in this study; however they will not receive nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) as part of their smoking cessation program. * Since our participants are childhood cancer survivors and they can be medically fragile and we are interested in providing all eligible participants with NRT to enhance their ability to quit smoking, we added a cautionary conditions list to the recruitment screening form. Those with severe arrhythmias, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, cerebrovascular incident, blood vessel disease, phaeochromocytoma, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, abnormal kidney or liver function, or history of gastritis or peptic ulcers, or who smoke less than 5 cigarettes per day will not receive NRT. * Patients with questionable NRT eligibility will be discussed/reviewed on a case by case basis with the Staff Family Physician
