Telephone based stop smoking services – are they worth it?
Emma Croghan, Consultant, Encouraging Lifestyle Change, Isle of Man
Abstract
Telephone based services which offer full stop smoking support including access to adjunctive medication are an area which has not been widely developed in the UK to date, but in which there is growing interest. Using the experiences of three different services delivered by telephone, we will compare protocols and outcomes and provide some recommendations from pragmatic data about the potential of these services.
