 In this JCO Article Insights episode, Lauren Shih summaries "Longitudinal Results From the Nationwide Just ASK Initiative to Promote Routine Smoking Assessment in American College of Surgeons–Accredited Cancer Programs" by  Jessica L. Burris, et al published November 19, 2024. Come back for the next episode where JCO After Hours host, Dr. Davide Soldato interviews the author of the JCO article discussed, Dr. Jessica Burris. TRANSCRIPT Lauren Shih: Hello and welcome to JCO Article Insights. I'm your host Lauren Shih, and today we will be discussing the article, “Longitudinal Results From the Nationwide Just ASK Initiative to Promote Routine Smoking Assessment in American College of Surgeons–Accredited Cancer Programs” by Dr. Jessica Burris and colleagues published in the March issue of JCO. This study reports the finding of the Just ASK Initiative, an effort aimed at improving universal smoking assessment in cancer programs nationwide. We know that smoking after a cancer diagnosis is associated with numerous negative outcomes including worse survival, increased treatment related complications, poorer quality of life and higher healthcare costs. Patients who smoke are also at increased risk for cancer recurrence and second primary malignancies. Despite these risks, data show that a significant number of patients with newly diagnosed cancer still smoke and around 15% of cancer survivors continue smoking. Recognizing this discrepancy, national oncology organizations strongly recommend routine smoking assessment and cessation support as part of standard cancer care. However, despite these guidelines, smoking assessment and cessation assistance remain inconsistent across oncology practices. Surveys show that most National Cancer Institute designated cancer centers have insufficient resources to effectively support smoking cessation efforts. To address this gap, several large scale initiatives have been launched, including efforts by the National Cancer Institute, the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer, and the American College of Surgeons. The largest of these initiatives, through the American College of Surgeons, is the subject of our report today. In 2022, the American College of Surgeons introduced the Just ASK Quality Improvement Program with the goal of increasing routine smoking assessment. As member institutions, accredited programs are required to complete at least one quality improvement program annually. And in 2022, 40% of programs chose to participate in Just ASK. The primary goal of this quality improvement program was to ask at least 90% of newly diagnosed cancer patients about their smoking status. Offering smoking cessation support was encouraged, but not a mandatory component or primary endpoint for the initiative. To implement Just ASK, participating programs used a well-established Plan-Do-Study-Act methodology which is a structured, iterative approach for improving healthcare processes. Programs used local quality improvement teams and resources for implementation and had access to online training, educational webinars, and technical resources to help integrate smoking assessment into routine care. Programs completed three surveys: a baseline survey reflecting smoking assessment practices in the year before Just ASK; a midpoint survey after six months of participation; and a final survey after one year in the program. The surveys assess program characteristics, barriers to smoking assessment, readiness to change, and the frequency of smoking related clinical practices such as asking about smoking, documenting smoking status, and advising smoking cessation. Programs reported on implementation strategies they adopted to improve smoking assessment. Finally, programs reported the number of newly diagnosed cancer patients they saw, how many were asked about their smoking status and how many were identified as current smokers during each reporting period. Results from 762 participating cancer center programs were analyzed. The programs represented a diverse mix of practice sites with over 50% identified as community based. Retention in the program was high, with nearly 90% of programs completing the final survey. Most programs reported moderate organizational readiness at baseline along with an average of 4.6 implementation barriers to conducting routine smoking assessment. Barriers included factors such as lack of time, competing clinical priorities, and lack of designated tobacco treatment specialists. At baseline, the ask rate was 87.8% and this increased to 91.9% at the final survey, meeting the previously identified goal for the initiative. Throughout the initiative, programs reported increases over time in assessing smoking status, in advising patients who smoked and quit, and in documenting these assessments and recommendations in the medical record. Importantly, the smoking rate among patients asked ranged from 18.5% to 19.8% across the three surveys, demonstrating a high rate of current smoking among newly diagnosed cancer patients. The most common implementation strategies adopted by programs to promote change included gaining leadership support, improving documentation on the electronic health record, and training staff and providers. There were no major differences in implementation strategies based on program type. Organizational readiness was positively associated with better smoking assessment practices, and implementation barriers had a negative impact, although not always statistically significant. The number of implementation strategies used by programs showed a positive, significant association with smoking assessment practices at the final survey. Exploratory analyses did not suggest that program type or patient volume had a consistent relationship with the outcomes. Although the primary goal of Just ASK was smoking assessment and not cessation assistance or intervention, programs did report on cessation related practices. For example, programs reported providing education or self-help materials increased from 26% to 48%, referrals to tobacco treatment specialists increased from 25% to 35%, and referrals to quit lines increased from 27% to 45%. Prescribing or recommending FDA approved cessation medications increased from 17% to 21%. In conclusion, Just ASK is the largest nationwide initiative to standardize and improve smoking assessment in cancer care. It successfully improves smoking assessment across a diverse range of cancer practices, ensuring that hundreds of thousands of newly diagnosed cancer patients were asked about their smoking status. As nearly 20% of the cohort reported smoking, this represents a critical first step in helping patients access smoking cessation resources. Participating programs demonstrated small but sustained practice changes in smoking assessment, meeting the a priori determined goal of a 90% ask rate. However, as a quality improvement initiative, Just ASK was not designed as a clinical trial, so conclusions regarding the efficacy of the program as an intervention are limited. Selection bias may have also played a role in the findings as program participation was voluntary. Additionally, the initiative lasted just one year and while the initial improvements were steady during that time, the long term impacts of Just ASK on smoking assessment remain uncertain. Looking ahead, the American College of Surgeons recently completed the Beyond ASK initiative. This initiative is designed to go a step further and focuses on improving smoking cessation assistance and we await the results. The Just ASK initiative demonstrates the routine smoking assessment is feasible to complete as routine cancer care. This assessment is essential as identifying patients that smoke is the first and critical step towards offering smoking cessation support, which in turn can improve health outcomes and reduce cancer treatment costs. While Just ASK was a success in increasing assessment, the challenge now is ensuring that smoking cessation support is readily available for all patients who need it.

Benzodiazepines: Risks, Origins, and Prescribing

Can Art, Nature, and Community Replace Pills? What if doctors prescribed a painting class instead of or alongside pills? Journalist Julia Hotz, author of The Connection Cure, joins M3 Jeff Goddard, and MD/PhD student Riley Behan-Bush to discuss social prescribing, a growing healthcare movement that treats patients with art, nature, movement, and community rather than just medication. We look at the barriers to making this idea work in the U.S., from insurance hurdles to physician overwork to healthcare's obsession with quick fixes. But the UK's social prescribing model reduced ER visits by up to 50%, and it acknowledges loneliness might be as dangerous as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Can medical students lead the charge toward healthcare that actually reduces physicians' moral injury?

Chris Appleton is the founder and CEO of Art Pharmacy, a pioneering initiative using social prescribing to integrate the arts into healthcare and improve mental well-being. A leader in arts and social impact, his work has been featured in The New York Times, CNN, and NPR. With a background in nonprofit leadership Chris is redefining healing one creative prescription at a time. This episode: What if a doctor's prescription didn't lead you to a pharmacy, but to a painting class, a dance performance, or a music workshop? For centuries, artists have played a vital role in well-being, and cultures around the world have embraced the arts as a source of health, community, and renewal. Now, social prescribing is reshaping healthcare by integrating the arts, not just as enrichment but as a science-backed tool for improving both mental and physical health. Decades of research show that engaging in the arts can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, strengthen the immune system, and improve cognitive function. As the founder and CEO of Art Pharmacy, Chris Appleton is proving that creative engagement is more than a feel-good activity. It is a legitimate, measurable intervention that enhances health outcomes. By working with healthcare providers and insurers, he is building a system where doctors can prescribe the arts just like they would medication or therapy. Grant and Chris also explore how programs like Prebys Foundation's Healing Through Arts and Nature initiative are improving community health through greater access to arts, culture, and nature. Grant shares how his own experience stepping onto the dance floor at a recent grantee event led to an unexpected moment of joy, connection, and uplifted spirits that reinforced the power of the arts in fostering well-being.

Join the dialogue - text your questions, insights, and feedback to The Dignity Lab podcast.In this episode of the Dignity Lab, Jennifer explores the complex relationship between Thanksgiving and dignity, particularly in relation to Indigenous peoples. She discusses the true meaning of gratitude, differentiating between superficial forms of gratitude and a deeper, transformative practice that honors both ourselves and others. Through this exploration, she emphasizes the importance of recognizing genuine kindness and the full spectrum of human experience.TakeawaysThe modern Thanksgiving celebration often overlooks the dignity of Indigenous peoples.Gratitude can be understood as both a tool and a virtue.Comparative gratitude can lead to a harmful mindset that limits gratitude to only times in which others suffer.Social or performative gratitude does not reflect true feelings or experiences.Prescribing gratitude to those in pain can violate their dignity.True gratitude emerges from acceptance and recognition of kindness and acknowledges both challenges and gifts in life.Recognizing goodness in others honors their dignity and our shared humanity.Exploring what it means to live and lead with dignity at work, in our families, in our communities, and in the world. What is dignity? How can we honor the dignity of others? And how can we repair and reclaim our dignity after harm?

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX Insulet Corporation announces the full market release of the Omnipod 5 App for iPhone® in the U.S. App allows users to fully control their Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System (Omnipod 5) from their compatible iPhone1. For example, users can bolus for a meal, change a Pod, and adjust settings. Importantly, this also means that Omnipod 5 users who have a compatible iPhone no longer need to carry a separate Controller to help manage their insulin delivery requirements. Insulet says that the App for iPhone has been the number one feature requested by Omnipod 5 users. The Omnipod 5 App for iPhone is currently compatible with the Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System and is expected to be compatible with the Dexcom G7 CGM in the U.S. in 2025. The Omnipod 5 App for Android phones is also available to U.S. customers. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20241029838744/en/Omnipod%C2%AE-5-App-for-iPhone%C2%AE-Now-Fully-Available-in-the-United-States   XX Th FDA says it's okay to keep on your FreeStyle Libre 2 and 3 for procedures like X-rays, CT scans and MRIs. Abbott said it makes its systems the first and only patient-applied CGM sensors approved for these screenings. Imaging procedures often come as part of diabetes care, Abbott said, especially as diabetes can cause a number of medical complications. The company rigorously tested its Libre 2 and 3 sensors to ensure they remain effective after radiologic procedures. This FDA clearance comes with no changes made to the sensor.   https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/fda-approves-abbott-cgms-medical-imaging/ XX Tidepool announced a new data integration with Abbott for the company's FreeStyle Libre continuous glucose monitors (CGMs). The companies aim to deliver cloud-to-cloud integration for an automatic stream of data from patients using Abbott's CGMs in the U.S. Data streams to Tidepool+, a diabetes data visualization and population health platform. Tidepool+ provides intuitive tracking and visualization of diabetes data to make the data informative and actionable for clinicians, people with diabetes and caregivers. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/tidepool-abbott-data-integration-freestyle-libre/ XX Beta Bionics announced today that it launched the integration of the iLet bionic pancreas with the Abbott (NYSE:ABT) FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus. The companies announced their plan to combine the FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus continuous glucose monitor (CGM) with iLet last month. According to Beta Bionics, this makes iLet the first available automated insulin delivery (AID) system to integrate with Libre 3 Plus in the U.S. iLet users can now update their app and software to gain a choice of integrated CGMs. They can choose between Libre 3 Plus and Dexcom CGMs.   Abbott, meanwhile, continues to push forward on the automated insulin delivery integration front. The company recently paired its FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus with Insulet's Omnipod 5 in Europe. It also announced compatibility with the Tandem Diabetes Care t:slim X2 system in January.   Notably, the company also struck a deal with Medtronic in August. They aim to develop CGMs specifically for the medtech giant's own insulin delivery systems. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/beta-bionics-launches-ilet-abbott-libre/ XX Dexcom is asking the FDA to approve the G7 CGM for 15 days. Right now the G7 has a 10 day wear time.  Dexcom also launched the G7 CGM in Australia and rolled out Dexcom ONE+ in France. Some front-office news.. EVP and CCO Teri Lawver plans to retire at the end of the year. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/dexcom-submits-15-day-cgm-fda-q3-2024/ XX Stelo by Dexcom is one of TIME's Best Inventions of 2024! As the first glucose biosensor available in the U.S. without a prescription, Stelo has unlocked our industry-leading technology for millions of people across the U.S. looking to improve their health through personalized insights. We're honored to be recognized among other unique innovations in the Home Health category that support people's health. https://time.com/7094684/dexcom-stelo/   XX   Luna Diabetes is moving forward with a pivotal trial evaluating its automated closed-loop insulin technology, the Luna System. This is designed to address nighttime glucose control for insulin pen users. It's meant for use only during sleep - Luna system was developed as a wearable insulin pump and alternative to insulin pen to automate the insulin delivery process. The device works with continuous glucose monitors (CGM) to calculate and deliver rapid-acting insulin doses during sleep. Luna Diabetes expects the study to be completed early next year, with plans to commercially launch the device “soon after”.   https://finance.yahoo.com/news/luna-diabetes-trials-automated-wearable-115211566.html?guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAJIrWwjdye-ehrLNDt-LIGb5qTXaKDTIa8NWwiT7fKwFFgjDMN2nnINis6YfFePWP2ZA2DVYWXEIZQqRlQ4aKLFrYWgvw1jdI-t1n9kO6NIzdBCMXQNNCVl_S-75lDNip2SysHDJQmyqSc4wLjfDya3v9wwTWU-KgE_OqrPCTnlu XX Researchers are urging  caution when prescribing off-label glucose-lowering drugs to individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) while acknowledging that doctors keep prescribing them because they seem to work so well. Both glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have shown significant benefits for cardiovascular and renal health in other populations, particularly in patients with type 2 diabetes.   SGLT2 inhibitors carry a significant risk of euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis, a dangerous condition most common in T1D individuals where toxic levels of blood acidification can occur. Due to this risk, SGLT2 inhibitors were removed for T1D use in Europe, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved them for T1D.   For GLP-1RAs, there are concerns about substantial weight loss potentially leading to ketoacidosis or worsening hypoglycemia. While these medications can be beneficial in managing weight, the extent of that weight loss can create new problems in people with T1D as their insulin needs may quickly change as a result. Prescribing in People With Type 1 Diabetes," published in JAMA, the authors stress the critical need for more research to confidently allow the off-label usage of potentially dangerous secondary treatments. The data suggests clinicians are turning to these treatments to manage cardiovascular and renal complications in T1D patients, even though the drugs are not explicitly approved for this condition.   Conversely, those newly prescribed GLP-1RAs had higher rates of obesity (69.4% vs. 45.7%). This data indicates that clinicians are prescribing GLP-1RAs to help manage obesity in T1D patients, as weight management is a critical component of diabetes care.   The percentage of the T1D population prescribed GLP-1RAs increased significantly, from 0.3% in 2010 to 6.6% by 2023. The percentage prescribed SGLT2 inhibitors rose from 0.1% in 2013 to 2.4% by 2023. Overall, the percentage of T1D patients prescribed either of these medications increased from 0.7% to 8.3% during this period.     Results of the study suggest that despite regulatory concerns, off-label use of GLP-1RAs and SGLT2 inhibitors in T1D continues to grow primarily due to their cardiorenal and weight management benefits.   "Prospective studies on the efficacy and safety of GLP-1RAs or SGLT2 inhibitors in the T1D population are needed," the Research Letter concludes, "Before such evidence becomes available, caution should be exercised when prescribing these treatments to individuals with T1D."   https://medicalxpress.com/news/2024-10-glucose-lowering-drugs-diabetes-patients.html XX More good islet transplant news.. from Eledon Pharmaceuticals and University of Chicago. These are potentially the first human cases of insulin independence achieved using a transplant of insulin-producing islet cells in combination with its experimental immunosuppressant drug. The first two subjects achieved insulin independence and normal hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) levels, a measure of average blood glucose, post-transplant. The third subject, who recently received an islet transplant, decreased insulin use by more than 60% three days following the procedure and continues on an insulin independence trajectory. Some of the funding for this study comes from Breakthrough T1D. https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2024/10/29/2970713/0/en/Eledon-Pharmaceuticals-Announces-Positive-Initial-Data-from-Subjects-with-Type-1-Diabetes-Treated-with-Tegoprubart-as-Part-of-an-Immunosuppression-Regimen-Following-Islet-Transplan.html XX   Semaglutide may reduce Alzheimer's risk in type 2 diabetes patients, with research suggesting significant protective benefits compared to other diabetes drugs. published in Alzheimer's & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association, the study suggests that T2D patients taking semaglutide had a significantly lower risk of developing Alzheimer's. This effect was observed consistently across various subgroups, including differences in obesity status, gender, and age. Semaglutide, which acts on glucagon-like peptide receptors (GLP-1R) to curb hunger and regulate blood sugar in T2D, is also the active component in the diabetes and weight-loss drugs Wegovy and Ozempic. About 120,000 Americans die from Alzheimer's disease each year, with the disease listed as the seventh-leading cause of death nationally, according to the CDC. https://scitechdaily.com/alzheimers-breakthrough-popular-diabetes-drug-ozempic-linked-to-much-lower-risk/ XX   XX Edgepark commercial XX Apple's non invasive blood glucose monitoring rumors are back. But this sounds like just software.. no watch or hardware. According to the report, Apple doesn't currently have plans to release the app, but may integrate the technology into its future health products. The app could reportedly show consumers how certain foods impact their blood sugar levels, based on measurements taken by existing blood sugar monitoring devices. One report says apple is exploring uses for blood sugar data and what tools they could create for consumers as a result. Latterly, he reports testing on the app has been paused, but says the tests could pave the way for better food tracking on Apple's own health software or better third-party glucose tracking integration. https://www.techradar.com/health-fitness/apple-is-testing-a-new-blood-sugar-product-but-its-not-the-apple-watch-update-weve-been-waiting-for XX And finally, it's diabetes awareness month. Please follow on social – I'll be doing a few things but mostly I think this month is great to educate the general public.. every month is diabetes month for this community. XX Join us again soon!

Increasing fruit and vegetable consumption sounds so trivial, but I honestly believe that concerted efforts to increase this key measure of our diet quality would culminate in success. And by success I mean successfully improving people's health, but also increasing the wealth of our communities and alleviating our nation's food supply insecurity.To explore this concept further with me is Jonathan Pauling, CEO of Alexandra Rose, one of my favourite charities and one that Doctor's Kitchen supports.10 years ago Jonathan helped develop its new mission - to improve access to healthy and affordable food for all. They built the ‘Rose Vouchers' for Fruit & Veg Project to pioneer the use of financial incentives to help families on low incomes avoid food insecurity, nutrition insecurity and food related ill-health. From small pilots in London supporting 45 families, this work has now spread around the UK supporting 3,500 families every week.The scheme works by giving families literal cash in the form of rose vouchers that can be used at local food markets in exchange for fresh produce. It's increased fruit and vegetable consumption by a staggering amount as we'll get into during the podcast, and I was genuinely shocked at some of the impressive numbers that Jonathan shared with me.Today we explore the economic and health incentives for why this scheme should be adopted across every local authority and NHS commissioners to not only help the millions of people living in financial hardship in the UK, but also to alleviate the burden on our health system.

Millions of Canadians don't have a family doctor. Walk-ins and ERs are packed. Access to primary care can be almost impossible for many of us. In an attempt to ease some of that burden on the system, a handful of provinces have allowed pharmacists to diagnose and prescribe medications for so-called "minor ailments". And in some provinces the list of those ailments is growing.For those without access to care, it can be a huge help. But it also raises questions about everything from training and privacy to conflicts of interest and misdiagnoses. So, is the potential cost worth the benefit of easing some of the strain on the system? And if not, what else are we supposed to do?GUEST: Natalie Mehra, Executive Director of the Ontario Health Coalition  We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

In this interview with Dr. Bret Scher, Dr. Mark Horowitz, a leading clinician and researcher in anti-depressant withdrawal and de-prescribing, delves into the complex world of de-prescribing anti-depressants. Dr. Horowitz shares his personal journey with antidepressant withdrawal, which led him to dedicate his career to understanding safe tapering practices. He discusses the challenges that patients face when coming off medications, the withdrawal effects often mistaken for relapses, and how the current psychiatric guidelines may fall short in helping people safely taper. Dr. Horowitz emphasizes the importance of individualized tapering plans and the need for slower, more gradual reductions in medication, challenging the traditional approach of quick tapers over a few weeks. *Key Topics Covered* • The difference between withdrawal symptoms and relapse • The effects of long-term antidepressant use • Dr. Horowitz's personal experience with tapering off Lexapro • The role of clinicians and peer support in the de-prescribing process *Experts Featured* Dr. Mark Horowitz X: @markhoro https://markhorowitz.org/ Resources: Safe tapering resources: https://www.outro.com/ _The Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines: Antidepressants, Benzodiazepines, Gabapentinoids and Z-drugs (The Maudsley Prescribing Guidelines Series)_ https://www.amazon.com/Maudsley-Guidelines-prescribing-Prescribing/dp/111982298X Metabolic Mind's Families & Peers page: https://www.metabolicmind.org/families-and-peers Clinician Directory: https://www.diagnosisdiet.com/directory Follow our channel for more information and education from Bret Scher, MD, FACC, including interviews with leading experts in Metabolic Psychiatry.
