Smoking cessation interventions for U.S. adults with disabilities: A systematic review

CONCLUSION: Two interventions conducted in adults with mild intellectual disability showed promising results using mindfulness-based procedures; however, the studies did not address barriers reported by people with disabilities, nor tailor the interventions to meet the needs of the target population. Research is needed to address tobacco use disparities among people with a range of disabilities. Current cessation interventions would be enhanced by integrating disability identifiers alongside other demographic information in future studies and reporting subgroup analyses in adults with disabilities.PMID:37977010 | DOI:10.1016/j.addbeh.2023.107905
