Qualitative Analysis of Barriers and Facilitators to Tobacco Treatment Engagement Among Hispanic Patients with Cancer in New York City
Hispanic patients with cancer who smoke are less likely to quit after diagnosis and underutilize evidence-based tobacco treatment. Understanding the complex factors influencing their engagement is crucial for developing effective and tailored interventions. Semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with 12 adult patients with cancer who self-identified as Hispanic or Latino referred between June 1, 2023, and June 30, 2024, to a tobacco…
Comparison of Black and/or Hispanic Cancer Patients’ Experiences in Virtual Tobacco Treatment
A community-based approach to address lung cancer screening disparities in the black community using the Witness Project® framework
The community-based, culturally tailored approach, coupled with the involvement of trusted community leaders, has the potential to reduce disparities in lung cancer outcomes. Further research is needed to assess the long-term impact and cost-effectiveness of Witness Project ® Lung in promoting lung screening uptake and improving health outcomes within underserved populations
Sex Differences in Cigarette Smoking Among Hispanic and Non-Hispanic Black All of Us Participants
Quitting smoking after a cancer diagnosis is associated with reductions in stigma and anxiety
Internalized cancer stigma is high among cancer patients who smoke, but it is unknown whether the experience of stigma changes after quitting smoking post-diagnosis. Using data from an RCT of tobacco treatment, we conducted a secondary data analysis and hypothesized that 1) cancer patients who quit smoking would report greater reductions in internalized cancer stigma, compared to patients who did not quit and that 2) greater reductions in stigma …

The trial is registered at clinicaltrials.gov (#NCT05824273)
Attitudes towards the integration of smoking cessation into lung cancer screening in the United Kingdom
INTRODUCTION: There is limited research exploring how smoking cessation treatment should be implemented into lung cancer screening in the United Kingdom. This study aimed to understand attitudes and preferences regarding the integration of smoking cessation support within lung cancer screening from the perspective of those eligible. METHODS: Thirty-one lung cancer screening eligible individuals aged 55-80 years with current or former smoking hist…

Perceived cancer-related benefits of quitting smoking and associations with quit intentions among recently diagnosed cancer patients
One third of smokers diagnosed with cancer continue smoking, perhaps due to low perceived cancer-related benefits of cessation. To examine perceived cancer-related benefits of quitting among newly diagnosed cancer patients who smoke and associations with quit intentions, baseline measures from patients (N = 303) enrolled in a randomized controlled trial were analyzed using hierarchical regression models and bootstrapping. Higher perceived cancer-…
Pragmatic Application of the RE-AIM Framework to Evaluate the Implementation of Tobacco Cessation Programs Within NCI-Designated Cancer Centers
Tobacco cessation after cancer diagnosis leads to better patient outcomes. However, tobacco treatment services are frequently unavailable in cancer care settings, and multilevel implementation challenges can impede uptake of new programs. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) dedicated Cancer Moonshot funding through the Cancer Center Cessation Initiative (C3I) for NCI-Designated Cancer Centers to implement or enhance the implementation of tobacco …
Dispositional shame and guilt as predictors of depressive symptoms and anxiety among adults with lung cancer
Shame- and guilt-proneness are associated significantly with depressive symptoms and anxiety, respectively, and the relationship between guilt-proneness and anxiety is explained in part by internalized stigma in a sample of newly diagnosed lung cancer patients. Findings carry implications for the early identification of lung cancer patients in need of additional supportive care services and highlight internalized stigma as a target for psychosoci…
Understanding cognitive and emotional illness representations of South Asian head and neck cancer survivors
This study underscores the significance of offering tailored tobacco cessation services to South Asian HNC survivors, and to help inform supportive models of care for others
Decreasing Smoking but Increasing Stigma? Anti-tobacco Campaigns, Public Health, and Cancer Care
Public health researchers, mental health clinicians, philosophers, and medical ethicists have questioned whether the public health benefits of large-scale anti-tobacco campaigns are justified in light of the potential for exacerbating stigma toward patients diagnosed with lung cancer. Although there is strong evidence for the public health benefits of anti-tobacco campaigns, there is a growing appreciation for the need to better attend to the uni…
Development and preliminary psychometric evaluation of a patient-reported outcome measure for lung cancer stigma
In a multi-phase process, we have developed a reliable, multi-dimensional measure of lung cancer stigma, the Lung Cancer Stigma Inventory (LCSI). Subsequent work will be conducted to establish further evidence of validity and clinically meaningful change
Gutka and Tambaku Paan Use Among South Asian Immigrants
Disengagement beliefs in South Asian immigrant smokeless tobacco users
Gutka and tambaku paan (smokeless tobacco products used by South Asian immigrants) are carcinogenic to humans (and perceived as such), yet, one-fourth of South Asian immigrants report current use. This study examined disengagement beliefs that perpetuate gutka/tambaku paan use among South Asians despite awareness of health risks. Six focus groups were conducted with immigrant South Asian adult gutka/tambaku paan users, in Gujarati, Bengali and Ur…
Development of a Virtual Reality Coping Skills Game to Prevent Post-Hospitalization Smoking Relapse in Tobacco Dependent Cancer Patients
Many smokers hospitalized for cancer-related surgery return to smoking after discharge even though continued smoking can compromise treatment effectiveness, reduce survival, increase risk of disease recurrence, and impair quality of life. After leaving the smoke-free hospital, patients encounter smoking cues at home, i.e., family members who smoke or emotional triggers such as stress that can elicit powerful urges to smoke and lead to smoking rel…
Family Communication Patterns After Melanoma Diagnosis
To examine health communication in families after cancer diagnosis, we conducted qualitative interviews examining communication processes among recently diagnosed melanoma patients and one of their adult children. Communication regarding melanoma and prevention is common in these families, yet adherence to recommended prevention and screening behaviors is inconsistent. Our study objectives were to examine processes regarding disclosure of the mel…
Coping with Breast Cancer
This couples-focused group program aims to improve a couple's functioning as a "team" and provides a supportive environment for couples facing similar breast cancer-related issues. Over the course of six sessions, couples learn support and communication skills, as well as techniques to manage stress and enhance intimacy. Modelling by group leaders and other couples facilitates skill acquisition. With continued use, the skills learned in group can…

Thinking Through Cancer Risk
The perception of cancer risk motivates cancer risk reduction behaviors. However, common measurement strategies for cancer risk perceptions, which involve numerical likelihood estimates, do not adequately capture individuals' thoughts and feelings about cancer risk. To guide the development of novel measurement strategies, the authors used semistructured interviews to examine the thought processes used by smokers (N = 15) as they considered their…
Posttraumatic Growth After Breast Cancer
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate posttraumatic growth among breast cancer patients and their significant others over a 11/2-year time span after diagnosis and to examine cognitive and emotional processes in posttraumatic growth. Methods: One hundred sixty-two women with breast cancer and their partners completed surveys assessing posttraumatic growth, cognitive and emotional processing, and marital satisfaction at 3 time point…
Buffering Effects of Family and Friend Support on Associations between Partner Unsupportive Behaviors and Coping among Women with Breast Cancer
This study examined the role of family and friend support in moderating the association between partner unsupportive behaviors and avoidance coping and coping efficacy experienced by women with breast cancer. This study also evaluated whether partner unsupportive behaviors had an indirect effect on patient distress via patient avoidance coping and coping efficacy. One hundred and forty women with recently diagnosed breast cancer who were either m…
Long-term psychological adjustment of acute leukemia survivors
As increasing numbers of patients survive acute leukemia, it has become important to study the long-term psychological and social adjustment of patients who have successfully completed their leukemia treatment. An important aspect of this inquiry is comparing the long-term psychosocial impact of two treatments for acute leukemia: chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation. This study examines the psychosocial adjustment of 70 acute leukemia sur…
