Abstract
Background
Smoking remains the leading cause of preventable death worldwide. Despite available treatments, quitting rates are low without proper support.
Problem
In a primary care setting, proactive smoking cessation interventions were not routinely provided.
Methods
A quality improvement project using quasi-experimental design focused on educating providers and actively engaging smoking patients.
Results
Post-intervention, there was a significant increase in the percentage of patients offered smoking cessation treatments (38.5% to 84.6%, P = .016). However, there was no significant change in treatment acceptance rates.
Conclusion
Educating providers increased treatment offers. Further research is needed to understand barriers to treatment acceptance.
