Implementation of Smoking Cessation Support During Lung Cancer Workup

The aim of the present project is to implement smoking cessation support in hospital-based lung cancer workup. The effect on 1) patients' smoking cessation attempts, motivation, quality of life and psychosocial consequences of lung cancer workup as well as 2) hospitals' number of referrals to municipality-based smoking cessation programmes will be evaluated in a pragmatic, cluster-randomised controlled setup, where participating hospitals will be assigned to the intervention arm (implementation of smoking cessation support) or the control arm (usual practice). Patients' and healthcare professionals' experiences with and barriers towards smoking cessation support will be explored in an interview-based, qualitative study.

Inclusion Criteria: * Referred to lung cancer workup at participating hospital * Able to speak and understand Danish Exclusion Criteria: * Unable to complete electronic questionnaires
