Helping Hospitalized Patients Quit Smoking

Completed · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Tobacco Abuse Cigarette

In brief

The study is being done to determine whether an in-hospital intervention using a brief intervention to facilitate quitline utilization will increase quitline utilization by hospitalized smokers, and will increase post hospital discharge smoking abstinence rates. Study participants will be randomized to receive either a brief quitline facilitation intervention , or a control intervention of a brief stop-smoking message. The study will also compare healthcare costs and utilization in the first six months following hospitalization between the two groups.
