Summary

This completed study tested whether motivational interviewing, a supportive counseling style, delivered through online video calls could increase the intention to quit smoking in people with lung cancer. Forty-two participants who smoked were randomly assigned to receive the intervention or not. The study measured changes in their desire and plans to quit using a standard questionnaire.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: motivational interviewing
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a simple, supportive way to help lung cancer patients who smoke feel more ready to quit.
What could go wrong: This is a very small, completed study with only 42 participants. It measured intention to quit, not actual quitting, so real-world success may differ.
