Tobacco Abuse Cigarette Clinical Trial
Official title:
Helping Hospitalized Patients Quit Smoking
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.
