Objectives: Evidence-based smoking cessation support tools (EBSTs) can double the quitting chances, but uptake among smokers is low. A digital decision aid (DA) could help smokers choose an EBST in concordance with their values and preferences, but it is unclear which type of smokers are interested in a digital DA. We hypothesized that smokers' general decision-making style (GDMS) could be used to identify early adopters.

However, knowledge is lacking regarding their effective elements and (cost-)effectiveness.
Objective: We describe the development process of an online DA (called "VISOR") that helps smokers to choose evidence-based cessation assistance.
Objective: To conduct an economic evaluation of a tailored e-learning program, which successfully improved practice nurses' smoking cessation guideline adherence.
Methods: The economic evaluation was embedded in a randomized controlled trial, in which 269 practice nurses recruited 388 smoking patients. Cost-effectiveness was assessed using guideline adherence as effect measure on practice nurse level, and continued smoking abstinence on patient level.
