Summary

This study tests a 9-week mindfulness program (MBRP-SA) designed to help cancer survivors quit smoking and reduce heavy drinking. Six hundred participants in Florida will either get the mindfulness program plus nicotine patches or standard quitline support. The goal is to see if mindfulness can reduce cravings and stress better than usual care.

Active substance

Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention for Smoking and Alcohol (MBRP-SA) plus nicotine replacement therapy

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a practical, non-drug way to help cancer survivors quit smoking and cut down on heavy drinking, improving their long-term health.

What could go wrong

This is a behavioral study, not a drug trial, so results may vary widely. The program is intensive (9 weeks of group sessions), and success depends on individual commitment. It's also limited to Florida residents.
