Background: Electronic health records (EHRs) could identify long-term health effects of nicotine vaping. We characterised the extent to which vaping is recorded in primary care EHRs in the UK, on a population level.
Methods: We performed descriptive analysis of Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD), primary care electronic health records of 25% of the UK population (~ 16 million patients).
Article Synopsis
- People with mental health issues, particularly depression and anxiety, tend to visit health professionals (HPs) more often than those without these conditions when it comes to smoking cessation.
- Among those who visited HPs, individuals with depression received more advice to quit smoking, while those with both depression and anxiety were more likely to discuss nicotine vaping products (NVPs).
- There are gaps in how health professionals provide cessation advice, especially since discussions about NVPs occurred, but many did not receive positive recommendations to use them.
Background: Internationally, there is an 'evidence-practice gap' in the rate healthcare professionals assess tobacco use and offer cessation support in clinical practice, including primary care. Evidence is needed for implementation strategies enacted in the 'real-world'.
Aim: To identify implementation strategies aiming to increase smoking cessation treatment provision in primary care, their effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and any perceived facilitators and barriers for effectiveness.
Introduction: Tobacco control mass media campaigns (MMCs) can be effective generally, but little is known about their effects among people with mental illness. The objectives of this study were to systematically review: (1) Whether tobacco control MMCs affect smoking-related outcomes among people with mental illness. (2) Cost-effectiveness.
