The Journal of family practice
-
Despite years of intervention, few studies describe the extent to which recommended tobacco use prevention and cessation activities occur in community-based family practices. This study was designed to discover current practice patterns in these areas and to describe physician outcome and efficacy expectations. ⋯ To increase tobacco control activities, practice systems need to be individually evaluated to identify what is needed, how it will fit within the practice culture, and how it can best be implemented in this specific practice. One-size-fits-all interventions probably will not be widely implemented.
