Cost-effectiveness analysis of smoking-cessation counseling training for physicians and pharmacists
2015, Addictive BehaviorsCitation Excerpt :Physicians are best positioned to play a crucial role in smoking cessation and prevention efforts (Fiore et al., 2000), and of all health care providers, pharmacists are possibly the most accessible to the public. Research shows that if trained, both physicians and pharmacists could have significant roles in helping patients quit smoking (Kottke, Brekke, Solberg, & Hughes, 1989; Richmond, Mendelsohn, & Kehoe, 1998). However, only one study (Pinget, Martin, Wasserfallen, Humair, & Cornuz, 2007) showed that such specialized training could be cost-effective.
Smoking Cessation in Clinical Trials and Public Health Studies: A Research Ethical Imperative
2007, Annals of EpidemiologyCitation Excerpt :Simultaneously, the medical care establishment promotes smoking cessation and tobacco use avoidance. At this time, the percentage of clinicians who routinely advise their patients who use tobacco to quit varies by specialty and training in delivery of brief quit smoking messages (1, 2, 13–16). At medical care institutions, we ban smoking from the interior of our hospitals, cancer centers, and clinics; we lend support for community efforts to enact and enforce clean indoor air laws.
Characteristics of smokers with a psychotic disorder and implications for smoking interventions
2007, Psychiatry ResearchCitation Excerpt :In addition, the present study found that among those offered quit advice, this had most often come from their GP. Interventions delivered by GPs using the Smokescreen program have been shown to be successful among general patient populations (Richmond et al., 1993, 1998; Richmond and Wodak, 1998; Richmond, 1999) and may be suited to people with severe mental illnesses. The current Australian guidelines for best clinical practice for smoking cessation in general practice include recommendations for people with a mental illness (Zwar et al., 2003).
