Implementation strategies to increase smoking cessation treatment provision in primary care: a systematic review of observational studies

More pragmatic approaches are recommended, such as hybrid effectiveness-implementation designs and utilising Multiphase Optimization Strategy methodology.PROTOCOL REGISTRATION: PROSPERO:CRD42021246683.PMID:36698052 | PMC:PMC9875430 | DOI:10.1186/s12875-023-01981-2
