Scientific titleA comparison of Nicotine Replacement Therapy and Nicotine Replacement Therapy combined with the Minimal Intervention Strategy for smoking cessation in cardiovascular outpatients.
Study objectivesIn the literature evidence exists that Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) approximately doubles smoking cessation rates, regardless of the setting. The Minimal Intervention Strategy (MIS) is propagated by several health institutions, but its incremental effect to NRT in cardiovascular patients if performed by a nurse in an outpatient setting is not known. In this study it is hypothesised that the combination of C-MIS and NRT significantly decreases the number of smokers if compared with NRT alone.
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedCardiovascular disease
InterventionIn the experimental arm: Nicotine Replacement Therapy (patches) and The Minimal Intervention Strategy (short behavioural counselling)

In the control arm: only Nicotine Replacement Therapy (patches)
Intervention typeMixed
Primary outcome measureThe primary endpoint of the study is smoking cessation at 12 months follow-up, as indicated by patient self-report and objectivated by urine cotinine levels.
Secondary outcome measuresSecondary endpoints are:
1. Changes in cognitions and smoking behaviour
2. Change in quality of life (generic and disease specific quality of life)
3. Adherence to NRT
4. Evaluation of the intervention
