This $619,175 federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) will fund a Type 1 hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). The trial will evaluate a novel harm reduction approach involving e-cigarette switching among oncology outpatients who smoke but refuse traditional tobacco treatment. The primary objective is to compare rates of complete switching from cigarettes to e-cigarettes at 12 weeks between the intervention and standard care control groups. The study will also conduct a mixed methods evaluation of implementation processes for the e-cigarette switching approach and collect exploratory data on the impact of switching on biological cancer risk factors and quality of life. This research aims to develop effective harm reduction strategies for cancer patients who continue to smoke despite refusing conventional tobacco cessation treatments.
