A211901 Rural Cancer Survivors Who Smoke - Clinical Trial
What is the Purpose of this Study?
We are doing this study to test a new strategy to help people quit smoking. We want to know if the study approach is better than the usual approach. The usual approach is to encourage patients to quit smoking using cessation support manuals and either medication or nicotine replacement products. We want to know if the study approach works better for cancer survivors who live in rural areas.
What is the Condition Being Studied?
