Tobacco cessation interventions in health care settings: rationale, model, outcomes

Article Abstract:

Any health care setting should be able to offer personalized cessation assistance to tobacco users. Larger health care systems should also provide the option of more intensive interventions for smokers who do not respond to brief approaches. A model for tobacco cessation intervention in health care settings is presented, with emphasis on a team approach. It advocates a reduced role for clinicians, using counseling by allied professionals, videos, written materials and telephone communication to reinforce clinician advice. It has been proven to be effective in a number of diverse settings.
