Piloting the Feasibility of Incorporating a Standardized Substance Use Measure With Linked-Brief Intervention Into Routine Psychosocial Care of Adult Childhood Cancer Survivors

Brief summary (registry, in English)
The ASSIST Study is designed to explore whether a brief, evidence based substance use screening and counseling approach can be easily integrated into routine survivorship care at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. During a regularly scheduled psychosocial visit, participants complete the World Health Organization's Alcohol, Smoking, and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST). This short questionnaire helps identify patterns of use related to tobacco, alcohol, cannabis, prescription medications, and other substances. Survivors whose results show possible risk receive a brief, supportive counseling session during the same appointment. This session uses motivational interviewing techniques to help individuals reflect on their use and consider steps to reduce potential harm. Primary Objective: \- Assess the feasibility and acceptability of integrating a standardized substance use screening and brief intervention protocol into routine psychosocial workflows within a survivorship clinic. Secondary Objective: \- Evaluate the fidelity of delivering a brief substance use intervention to reduce substance use behaviors among survivors.
