Helping cancer patients quit smoking using brief advice based on risk communication: A randomized controlled trial

Abstract This randomized controlled trial aimed to examine the effectiveness of a smoking cessation intervention using a risk communication approach. A total of 528 smoking cancer patients were randomly allocated either into an intervention group (n = 268) to receive brief advice based on risk commu...
