Personalized Smoking Cessation Infographic in COPD

Sponsor: Unity Health Toronto

Summary

This study assesses the effect of a personalized smoking cessation infographic on physician smoking cessation counseling rates and smoking cessation pharmacotherapy prescription rates. The study assesses the difference in physician behaviour using an interrupted time series analysis (one-year pre vs. one-year post-intervention). General practitioners, nurse practitioners and respirologists who refer eligible patients (COPD, active smoking) for spirometry at the St. Michael's Hospital Pulmonary Function Lab will receive the infographic. This is a quality improvement initiative. The smoking cessation infographic uses individualized patient data (height, weight, sex, baseline FEV1, etc.) to produce a personalized lung function decline prediction over the next 15 years.
