Smoking Cessation Lung Cancer | Other: CEASE Other: Usual Care Tobacco Treatment Services | Not Applicable |
In particular the study aims to see if participants are asked about their smoking status and what services are offered if someone indicates being a former or current smoker. Findings from this study will help improve a standard of care at this clinic and allow us to understand what type of tobacco treatment services are preferred by patients.
- Adaption of CEASE will entail exit interviews with patients and individual interviews with clinical staff to identify and address facilitators and barriers to the implementation process.
- Effectiveness of CEASE will be measured through questionnaires & biochemical verification of smoking status using a pre-test/post-test study design before (usual care)and after implementation (CEASE)
