Benefits of Telephone Care Over Primary Care for Smoking Cessation

Abstract: Background: Brief clinician intervention and telephone counseling are both effective aids for smoking cessation. However, the potential benefit of telephone care above and beyond routine clinician intervention has not been examined previously. The objective of this study is to determine if telephone care increases smoking cessation compared with brief clinician intervention as part of routine health care.Methods: This 2-group, prospective, randomized controlled trial enrolled 837 daily smokers from 5 Veterans … Show more

“…29 Another study using cellular telephones for counseling among HIV-positive smokers increased cessation rates to 37% compared to 10% in the usual care group, 28 results that are very similar to a study of HIV-negative patients utilizing telephone intervention. 30 Our data suggest that efforts to improve smoking cessation rates should include increased education and training of HIV providers to detect smoking and counsel smoking cessation, as HIV providers reported less confidence in their ability to influence their patients to stop smoking than non-HIV providers. These results are parallel to an earlier report that found that ID-certified physicians were less comfortable with prescribing medications to their HIV-positive patients for hyperlipidemia, diabetes, hypertension, and depression than GM-certified physicians to their patients.…”

“…Finally, we found that PFT is likely underused in these symptomatic, high-risk patients with HIV infection. The HIV population may be more susceptible to diseases, such as COPD and lung cancer, and to mortality associated with smoking (7,8,12,(52)(53)(54)(55)(56)(57), and smoking cessation counseling is of great importance in this population.…”

“…3 Also smokers with psychiatric comorbidities may benefit from combined pharmacotherapy and behavioral counseling with longer therapeutic approaches (i.e., exceeding 8-12 weeks) to reduce likelihood of dropout and depression relapse. 16,[53][54][55] Future research should be designed to optimize dose, duration, sequencing, and frequency of both behavioral counseling and pharmacotherapies.…”
