Despite the health and economic benefits of encouraging smoking cessation in this population, there is relatively little evidence of smoking cessation interventions that are tailored for this group (Parker & Eaton, 2012).
First, develop an intervention protocol, a tobacco cessation brief intervention training and practice-system intervention that includes appropriate tobacco cessation best practices from the U.S. Public Health Service Guideline on Treatment of Tobacco Dependence PHS Guidelinee) [ 19] and is tailored for the needs of CAM practitioners.
You know nicely tailored for me.
Questions were tailored for each professional group.
Moreover, such interventions may be tailored to cessation and avoidance searches by considering their stage in the cessation process [44]; [44].
In addition to these general recommendations for smoking cessation interventions, some recommendations for COPD tailored smoking cessation interventions can be made: GPs should, in their communication with smokers with COPD, take more time to explore social interactions, health perceptions and moral agendas that influence thoughts, feelings and what makes sense concerning smoking and quitting.
This study will make an important contribution to evidence-based practice by testing the effectiveness of a tailored smoking cessation intervention for cancer patients.
Matthews et al 79 examined the feasibility, acceptability, and outcomes of a culturally tailored smoking cessation intervention for HIV+ African American male smokers recruited from a community-based health center serving primarily lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender patients.
The purposes of this analysis of the Tobacco Use Supplement-Current Population Survey (TUS-CPS) are to explore smoking and quitting characteristics among female nurses as compared to women in the general population, and to examine factors associated with quit attempts which might support tailored smoking cessation programs for a predominantly female health profession.
12 We have developed an individually tailored smoking cessation text messaging intervention for use in pregnancy, called MiQuit; in a small randomised control trial (RCT) this was found feasible to deliver, acceptable to pregnant smokers and also, potentially effective.
Reviews concerning preliminary findings of studies investigating the effect of genetic polymorphisms on smoking cessation suggest promising effects, 5 10 11 making the use of (pharmaco) genetic testing for smoking in clinical practice for increasing quit rates by genetically tailored smoking cessation treatment in the near future more likely.
