Randomized Trial Assessing the Effectiveness of a Pharmacist-Delivered Program for Smoking Cessation

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Tobacco Use Disorder, Smoking

In brief

This randomized trial compared the effectiveness of a three session pharmacist-delivered group program for smoking versus one 5 to 10 minute standard care session delivered over the telephone on 7-day point prevalence quit rates. Participants in both groups were offered their choice of bupropion IR or nicotine patch at no cost. At 6 months after the established quit date, self-reported cessation was biochemically verified using tests for urinary cotinine.
