Predictors of physical therapists' intentions to counsel for smoking cessation: Implications for practice and professional education.

CONCLUSIONS: Physical therapists' intent to engage in SC counseling increases when they consider it their "professional role." Encouraging PTs to view SC counseling as a professional role as well as increasing SC counseling self-efficacy focusing on skills and knowledge to do so needs to be incorporated into entry-level academic physical therapy programs and continuing professional PT education.
