Objectives

Narrative objectives1

We aim to assess the feasibility of implementing proactive referral from health checkups to pharmacies and smoking cessation clinics through an intervention for healthcare providers. The intervention is intended to enable smokers who wish to quit to access cessation support at pharmacies or treatment at clinics. There is currently no evidence of proactive referral between health checkup settings and pharmacies. The primary outcome is the proportion of smokers who make appointments with pharmacies or clinics for smoking cessation support/treatment as a result of proactive referral from health checkup facilities, as an indicator of feasibility.
In this study, proactive referral is defined as the role of healthcare providers at health checkup facilities who, after providing brief smoking cessation support, take responsibility for connecting
individuals wishing to quit smoking to healthcare settings for smoking cessation support and/or treatment.
