Rural and Appalachian cancer survivors’ responses to tobacco use screening and tobacco treatment offer
Findings highlight continued need for population-level tobacco use screening and proactive tobacco treatment offers, given elevated tobacco use in some minority groups and overall low rates of tobacco treatment acceptance. This large study helps shed light on the association between geographical residence and tobacco-related outcomes among patients with cancer, and underscores room for improvement in tobacco treatment uptake in cancer care.
