Study Summary

This trial will help develop and test an educational tool, called an interactive Mobile Doctor (iMD), to engage cancer patients receiving radiation therapy in quitting or staying tobacco-free.

They must have used tobacco in the past year and be starting or currently receiving radiation therapy for cancer at UCSF. People with contraindications, cognitive or medical issues as judged by their care team, hearing/vision disabilities affecting intervention participation, or those already done with radiation therapy cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing an educational video tool called Interactive Mobile Doctor (iMD) designed to help cancer patients undergoing radiation at UCSF quit smoking or maintain abstinence from tobacco use during their treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since iMD is a non-invasive educational tool rather than a medication, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience discomfort discussing smoking habits or stress related to quitting.
