Scientific title | Using a screening questionnaire to reduce non-attendances at first appointments for smoking cessation advice clinics in general practice: a clustered randomised controlled trial |
Study objectives | 1. Can a short pre-booking questionnaire be used to reduce wastage due to non-attendance of first appointments for smoking cessation advice? 2. Does screening for readiness by using a questionnaire have an impact on successful quit rate and waiting list? |
Ethics approval(s) | Not provided at time of registration |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Smoking cessation |
Intervention | The study will be a controlled trial that will take place in general practices in Bristol. In order to avoid contamination, randomisation will take place at the practice level. The intervention practices will use a short questionnaire which has been designed to assess readiness to quit, as a screening tool, while the smoking cessation advice clinics in control practices will continue to take referrals according to usual practice and supply their audit data at the end of a 6 month period. The trial will take place over a six-month period. |
Intervention type | Other |
Primary outcome measure | The primary outcome measure will be the percentage of missed first appointments compared with corresponding pre-trial periods. The waiting list and the audited quit rates will also be examined. Analysis will also compare the questionnaire scores with a successful quit attempt. It is anticipated that this will be used to contribute to the validation of the questionnaire. |
