p-value: p=.05
A tailored inpatient smoking cessation program with telephone follow-up significantly increased smoking cessation at 6 months in patients with cardiovascular disease.
Chouinard et al. (2005) conducted an RCT in Cardiovascular Disease (n=168). Inpatient counseling with telephone follow-up vs. Inpatient counseling alone and usual care was evaluated on 6-month smoking abstinence rate (p=.05). Inpatient smoking cessation counseling with telephone follow-up increased 6-month smoking abstinence to 41.5%, compared with 30.2% for counseling alone and 20% for usual care (p=0.05).
