Overview

Randomized controlled trial demonstrated improved long-term abstinence in adults attending emergency departments, suggesting effective intervention strategies.

Key Points

  • Long-term follow-up revealed that adults who received a smoking cessation intervention were more likely to quit smoking.
  • Self-reported 7-day abstinence rates at 18 months were significantly higher, with 12.8% in the intervention group versus 8.33% in the control group.
  • Randomized controlled trial spanned over 14 to 22 months, indicating the importance of long-term follow-up for smoking cessation effectiveness.
  • Emergency departments can play a critical role in supporting smoking cessation efforts, potentially improving public health outcomes.
