However, fewer than half of patients who smoke receive tobacco dependence treatment (TDT). To address the TDT barriers, an opt\u2010out clinical program in a racially and socioeconomically diverse oncology patient population was implemented. As part of the National Cancer Institute\u2019s Cancer Center Cessation Initiative, the feasibility and impact of improved TDT access and use was assessed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Medical assistants (MAs) assessed tobacco\/nicotine use at each outpatient visit at health system\u2013based hematology\/oncology clinics.

Of those eligible, 75.6% (1285\/1699) were reached, 37.7% (484\/1285) were enrolled, and 27.9% (359\/1285) were engaged in treatment.
