Presented on November 16, 2017

By J. Lee Westmaas, PhD

J. Lee Westmaas, PhD, is director of tobacco control research in the Behavioral Research Center (BRC) at the American Cancer Society.

Contextual and environmental influences such as education level, stress, access to health care and cessation treatment, and tobacco regulation through smoke-free laws and taxes, are also important considerations in his research. Dr. Westmaas uses results of this research to develop and test interventions that take advantage of existing digital tools such as email, smartphone apps, and texts to provide information and support to assist smokers’ quit attempts.

Presented on February 15, 2018

By Sonia Duffy, PhD, RN, FAAN

During her pre-doctoral post-doctoral fellowships, Dr. Duffy was trained in health behaviors and epidemiology, particularly related to smoking cessation, but also other health behaviors. Since then, Dr. Duffy's research interests have focused on health behavior interventions among a variety of populations. Dr. Duffy conducted a randomized controlled trial (RCT) testing the Tobacco Tactics intervention among head and neck cancer patients and it was found to be efficacious. Based on this work, she conducted an implementation study to test the Tobacco Tactics intervention among inpatients at three VA hospitals and it was also found to be effective. In a recently completed U01 grant, across non-VA hospitals, she trained 1028 inpatient nurses to conduct the Tobacco Tactics intervention, which significantly increased quit rates in the intervention hospitals compared to usual care hospitals. In a recently completed R21, she tested the web-based Tobacco Tactics intervention among blue collar workers and found significantly increased quit rates in the intervention group compared to referral the 1-800-QUIT NOW group. As part of a large NCI supported p50 grant, Dr. Duffy showed the relationship between biomarkers and health behaviors and survival.

Objectives:

  • Identify the prevalence of smoking among cancer patients
  • Identify risks associated with continued smoking among cancer patients
  • Identify physical, psychological, and social issues related to smoking among cancer patients
