PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To evaluate CareConnect's efficacy on referring patients to tobacco cessation resources.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To evaluate patients' acceptance of referrals.
II. To evaluate the acceptability of CareConnect.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. In-depth semi-structured qualitative interviews of 20 selectively chosen participants who completed the 3-month follow-up survey or finished the automated CareConnect or Auto-Reach call but may have refused to complete the 3-month follow-up survey (10 from each group).
II. Smoking cessation with verification.
OUTLINE:
Eligible participants, identified through the Cancer Center Tobacco Registry will be randomized to either the Intervention or Control arm on a 1:1 ratio. Participants who complete the first call of CareConnect or AutoReach will be considered enrolled. Participants will complete a baseline assessment, a 3-month assessment, and have option to provide a saliva sample.
For those who are selected to participate in an in-depth interview, this will take place within 1 month after the 3-month assessment. Data from the participants medical record may be accessed at 6 months post follow-up.
