This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows:
Primary objective-
To examine the benefits and harms of different types of psychosocial interventions for smoking cessation in people with CHD.
-
To examine the benefits and harms of psychosocial interventions aimed solely at smoking cessation compared with multi-risk factor interventions for smoking cessation in people with CHD.
-
To examine the benefits and harms of brief (duration of < one month) compared to extended (duration of ≥ one month) psychosocial interventions for smoking cessation in people with CHD.
-
To explore whether using a validated biochemical assessment versus a self-report of abstinence moderates the effectiveness of smoking cessation interventions in people with CHD.
-
To assess the equity of psychosocial interventions for smoking cessation in people with CHD.
This is a protocol.
