A Randomized Trial to Implement the AHCPR Smoking Cessation Guideline

Completed · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Smoking, Smoking Cessation

In brief

Among veterans, smoking is the single most important risk factor for preventable mortality and morbidity, and studies suggest a higher prevalence of smoking among veterans than the general population. The VHA has encouraged adoption of the AHCPR Guideline for Smoking Cessation, yet most hospitals have poorly developed smoking cessation programs.
