Provider Education and Community Health Worker Support Improves Provision of Evidence Based Smoking Cessation Treatments and Quit Rates
This systems level intervention consisting of education to clinical primary care and psychiatric providers plus community health worker support to people with SMI and their care teams increased smoking cessation rates in a large population that did not necessarily identify smoking cessation as a goal.
The intervention both increased provision of evidence based smoking cessation treatment and appeared to increase its efficacy.
