Tobacco Cessation Support Survey |
All members |
Ceasing smoking at or after a cancer diagnosis improves prognosis, including lower mortality and risk of second smoking-related primary cancers. This positive impact of quitting smoking has led the Cancer Council NSW and the Cancer Institute NSW to investigate how Australian cancer clinicians provide tobacco cessation support to their patients and the barriers they face in doing so. At the end of 2015, a survey on tobacco cessation support for cancer patients was distributed to COSA members with additional survey promotion and distribution to occur in 2016. Results will inform future initiatives to assist cancer clinicians in providing tobacco cessation support. |

The Delphi study is still ongoing. We had an overwhelming response for survey #1 and it took a bit longer to analyse the results than originally anticipated. Survey #2 will be sent to participants as of next week. Overall, we had 60 caregivers, 102 clinicians, 64 researchers, and 24 managers participate in round 1. We plan to have the study completed by August at the latest. |
