Study Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of the current study is to pilot the efficacy, feasibility, and acceptability of an evidence-based smoking cessation intervention adapted for cancer patients and delivered via video. Investigators aim to assess if this intervention is considered acceptable by participants, feasible to implement, and effective at increasing knowledge about smoking cessation before conducting a fully powered clinical trial.
Detailed Description
A randomized controlled pilot study is being conducted to test the acceptability and feasibility of a smoking cessation intervention tailored for cancer patients that is delivered via video. Participants will be in a video intervention or control group that receives information about quitting smoking. Participants will complete surveys prior to randomization, and will complete additional surveys one week, one month, and three months post-randomization to provide their thoughts about the videos, information about changes to smoking behaviors, and knowledge about quitting smoking.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Feasibility
Time Frame: 1 week post-randomization
Feasibility will be measured using the Feasibility of Intervention measure, which contains four items with answer options on a scale from 1-5, with higher scores indicating higher feasibility. We will consider the intervention "feasible" if an average score of 4 or higher is obtained.
Retention Rates
Time Frame: 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months post-randomization
We will determine if there are differences in retention rates between intervention groups.
Acceptability
Time Frame: 1 week post-randomization
Acceptability will be measured using the Acceptability of Intervention measure, which contains four items with answer options on a scale from 1-5, with higher scores indicating higher acceptability. We will consider the intervention "acceptable" if an average score of 4 or higher is obtained.
Secondary Outcomes
- Changes in smoking behaviors(1 week, 1 month, and 3 months post-randomization)
- Changes in knowledge about quitting smoking(Baseline, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months post-randomization)
