Integrating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Approaches Into Treatment of Commercial Tobacco Use for Optimal Cancer Care Delivery

Rashelle B. Hayes et al.

Summary: Although tobacco-related cancer incidence, mortality, and commercial tobacco use have been decreasing steadily in recent decades, improvements have not been experienced equally across all population subgroups. Complex interactions across socioecological domains influence disparities in tobacco use, treatment, and health outcomes. The Cancer Center Cessation Initiative (C3I) aims to reduce disproportionate tobacco-related burden and eliminate disparities by examining and intervening on multilevel influences across the cancer control continuum.

Population-Level Assessment of Smoking-Related Beliefs and Behaviors Among Survivors of Genitourinary Cancers: An Application of the Theory of Planned Behavior

Lee Brake et al.

Summary: This study aimed to describe attitudes, perceptions, and beliefs related to smoking and smoking cessation among survivors of genitourinary cancers using a theory-based framework. The results showed significant variation in behaviors and perceptions related to smoking and smoking cessation among the study population. Most participants perceived smoking as harmful to health, with a majority being regretful about starting smoking, yet only a small percentage had used prescription medication or nicotine replacement therapy for smoking cessation. Personalized smoking cessation interventions may be necessary for optimal success.
