Protocol - Personal Perception and Knowledge of Smoking-related Cancer Risk
Description
These questions ask current and former smokers how often they worry about lung cancer and ask them to assess their perception of being diagnosed with lung cancer.
Specific Instructions
These questions are only asked of current or former smokers. In order to exclude nonsmokers, the Cancer Working Group recommends adding a filter question. The recommended filter question can be located in the PhenX Toolkit. Please see question 1 of the Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Substances measure Tobacco - Smoking Status (Adult Protocol).

Lifestage
Adult
Participants
Men and women aged 55 to 74 years old who are current or former smokers*
*While this questionnaire was used in a study of men and women aged 55 to 74 years old, the Cancer Working Group deems it appropriate to use with men and women over age18 years.
Selection Rationale
It is important to understand the reasons people smoke in order to guide public health strategies. If people smoke because they are unaware of the adverse health consequences of smoking, public health efforts must emphasize education. If people smoke despite this knowledge, other strategies, such as treatment for addicted smokers or special interventions targeted to adolescents, might be more effective.
