Article Synopsis
- * A review analyzed studies from 2006 to 2017 to see how well mental health services provide preventive care for issues like smoking, alcohol use, nutrition, and physical activity.
- * Results showed that while smoking assessments were done in 78% of cases, nutrition screenings were only at 17%, indicating inconsistent and generally low-quality preventive care across different mental health service types.
Introduction: Persons with a mental disorder smoke at higher rates and suffer disproportionate tobacco-related burden compared with the general population. The aim of this study was to determine if a smoking cessation intervention initiated during a psychiatric hospitalization and continued postdischarge was effective in reducing smoking behaviors among persons with a mental disorder.
Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted at an Australian inpatient psychiatric facility.
