Study Summary

This is Part 1 of a 2-part research study. The goal of this part of the study is to plan and test an investigational type of counseling called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, for use in patients who have or had head and neck cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, or genitourinary cancer. This part of the study is also designed to train the study counselors how to perform Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. In this part of the study, participants will either receive Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or the standard type of counseling, called Motivational and Behavioral Counseling. This is Part 2 of a 2-part research study. In both parts of the study, participants receive either an investigational type of counseling (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) or a standard type of counseling (Motivational and Behavioral Counseling). Part 1 was also designed to train the study counselors how to perform Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. The goal of Part 2 is to compare Acceptance and Commitment Therapy against Motivational and Behavioral Counseling. Researchers want to learn which type of counseling may be more effective in helping patients to stop smoking. These types of counseling will be tested in patients who have or had head and neck cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, or genitourinary cancer.

Primary Outcome

Participants will be assessed on a variety of interview, self-report, and biochemical measures at baseline, at key points during treatment (including end of treatment), and at 14-, and 26-weeks after the targeted quit date
