Detailed Description:
Background
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
Objectives
The present study is designed to investigate the effectiveness of an organizational strategy to increase compliance with the AHCPR guideline Short term goals of the study include increasing the rate of identification of smokers and increasing the delivery of brief smoking cessation interventions Long term goals include reducing tobacco consumption among veterans
Methods
Twenty VAMCs with active primary care clinics have been randomly assigned to either control usual practice UP or intervention organizational support OS groups The intervention hospitals receive staff training and site consultation all hospitals will receive the AHCPR guideline Rate of identification of smokers in the medical record smoking cessation rates provision of smoking cessation services eg NRT counseling and costs of NRT will be determined via telephone interviews with patients chart review and electronic records
