What this research studies
This research investigates a proactive electronic visit (e-visit) program designed to assist adult smokers in quitting smoking through their primary care providers. By utilizing electronic health records, the program identifies smokers and automates the delivery of evidence-based cessation treatments. Participants will complete an initial e-visit to provide their smoking history and motivation to quit, which will then guide personalized treatment recommendations. The goal is to improve the effectiveness of smoking cessation efforts and increase the number of successful quit attempts among smokers.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are adult smokers who are motivated to quit and have access to primary care services.
Not a fit: Patients who do not smoke or are not interested in quitting smoking may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly increase the number of smokers who successfully quit, thereby reducing smoking-related health issues and deaths.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that proactive interventions in primary care settings can effectively increase smoking cessation rates, suggesting that this approach has potential for success.
