Abstract A08: Leveraging technology to promote smoking cessation in primary care medical offices

Conclusions: An AVR based smoking cessation intervention provided added value beyond typical tobacco cessation efforts available in these primary care offices. This intervention required no additional clinical staff time and served to satisfy a component of patient center medical home requirements for many of these practices. Building partnerships with primary care medical offices can aid in the development and testing of community-based interventions such as smoking cessation delivered to medically underserved and diverse patient populations.Citation Format: Frances G.
