Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a smoking cessation telephone care coordination program is effective and feasible in VA Mental Health Clinics.
Detailed Description:
Smoking is the leading preventable cause of death in the United States and is a particular problem among VA users and among persons with a diagnosed mental illness. The prevalence of smoking among VA mental health patients has remained high, in part because smoking cessation treatment rates have remained low. Telephone-based counseling represents the most feasible approach to increasing smoking cessation treatment among VA patients. The approach used in this study has been used very effectively in a primary care-based population that includes a large percentage of mental health patients. This project would target the program specifically at patients seen in VA Mental Health Clinics.
