CONNECT Cancer Survivors With Tobacco Treatment

Cancer Prevention by Reducing Tobacco With Informatics and Chronic Care Approaches Trial (CONNECT)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of two different informatics-enabled implementation strategies on increasing tobacco treatment and improving smoking cessation rates for cancer control and prevention. This will be done via a two-arm pragmatic cluster randomized trial (CRT) to test the effectiveness of nudges to change (ELEVATE-S) vs. quit-focused usual care (ELEVATE) in increasing tobacco treatment (use of medication, brief advice, or referral to external counseling) and smoking cessation.

Eligibility Criteria:

• Be receiving care at a participating clinic
• Report current tobacco use (assessed by the rooming staff during the index visit)
• Have a completed appointment with a participating clinic
• Be an adult (at least 18 years old).
