Proactive Population Health Strategy to Offer Tobacco Dependence Treatment to Smokers in a Primary Care Practice Network

ConclusionsSmokers responding to a population-based, proactive outreach strategy had better provision of tobacco cessation treatment when referred to either a health system –based or community-based program compared with usual care. The health system–based strategy outperformed the quitline-based one in several measures. Future work should aim to improve population reach and test the effect on smoking cessation rates.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT03612895
