Background summary
This project aims to test the efficacy of the implementation of a computerized tailoring approach AROM by community pharmacists and general practitioners (GPs).
In study 1, 40 community pharmacies will distribute 200 baseline questionnaires about smoking cessation to their smoking patients. Partipating smokers will be randomly assigned to the experimental (E) and control (C) condition. The smokers in te E-group will receive a tailored letter about smoking cessation (generated by AROM).
In study 2, the same procedure will be followed now using general practices as the setting to access smokers; 84 practices will distribute the questionnaires.
In both studies, follow-ups will take place at 3 and 12 months after baseline to measure short and longer term effects on smoking cessation. Process evaluation data, cost effectiveness data as well as data about the rate of adoption by patients will be measured and analysed as well.
Study objective
One tailored letter on smoking cessation will lead to more quit attempts at follow-up.
