Biobehavioral and Cultural Determinants of Betel Quid Chewing, Dependence, and Withdrawal in Taiwan

BCDBQCDWT
Start date: December 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Cancer of the oral cavity is one of the fastest growing cancers among men in Taiwan. Previous research has established a strong link between betel quid chewing, a common practice among Taiwanese men, and oral cancer. However, despite the strong association, no attempt has been made to develop behavioral measures to facilitate betel quid cessation. This application extends upon existing collaboration between MD Anderson and China Medical University Hospital (CMUH) and seeks to characterize betel quid chewers and their withdrawal symptoms, in order to address an urgent cancer epidemiology issue in Taiwan.
