Study type | Interventional |
Background: Smoking cessation can largely improve cancer prognosis and quality of life among
cancer patients. However, few patients are aware of the importance to quit at the stage, or
they have difficulties to quit by self.
Aim: to examine the effectiveness of a smoking cessation intervention using a risk
communication approach
Design: A randomized controlled trial
Setting: Outpatient clinics of the Clinical Oncology Departments of five major hospitals in
different regions of Hong Kong
Subject: Smokers who attend medical follow-up visits at outpatient clinics of the Clinical
Oncology Departments of five major hospitals in different regions of Hong Kong and who met
the inclusion criteria were invited to participate.
Intervention: At baseline, intervention group receives:
1. a face-to-face individualized brief advice based on risk communication for 15-30 minutes
from the nurse counselors;
2. examination of exhale CO level; and
3. a generic standard self-help smoking cessation booklet. They will receive a booster
intervention at 1 week. Control group will receive standard care and a generic self-help
smoking cessation booklet.
Outcome: Primary outcome is the self-reported 7-day point prevalence quit rate at 6-month
follow up. Secondary outcomes include:
1. self-reported 7-day point-prevalence smoking abstinence at 12-month follow-up;
2. biochemically validated quit rate at 6-month follow-up; and
3. percentage of patients reduced smoking by at least 50% at 6- and 12-month follow-up
compared to baseline.
Significance: This study develops and validates practical smoking cessation interventions
targeted to cancer patients to improve their cancer prognosis and in long-term.
