NHS Stop Smoking Services Assessed, UK
New research commissioned by the National Institute for Health Research's
Health Technology Assessment (NIHR HTA) programme will review the
effectiveness of relapse prevention strategies provided by NHS Stop
Smoking Services to help those who have quit smoking from re-starting.
Smoking is the single greatest cause of preventable illness and early
death in the UK, costing the NHS up to £1.7 billion every year. There are
around 10 million smokers in England, and 70% of these say they want to
quit.
The research, led by Professor Ann McNeill and Dr Tim Coleman at the
University of Nottingham, will examine existing evidence about the
clinical and cost-effectiveness of different treatment strategies for
preventing people who have quit smoking from starting again. It is hoped
the research will help determine priorities for future research in this
field, and the value of such treatment approaches to the NHS and whether
or not they should be part of NHS Stop Smoking Services.
NHS Stop Smoking Services are available across the NHS in England and
provide counselling and support to smokers wanting to quit, along with
treatments like nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and bupropion (Zyban).
"NHS Stop Smoking Services are a successful way of helping those who want
to stop smoking," says Professor McNeill. "Unfortunately around 85% of
people who succeed in quitting will later relapse and start to smoke
again."
Little is known about why people relapse to smoking and even less is known
about how NHS Stop Smoking Services uses drug treatments and behavioural
support to help prevent those people who have quit from relapsing.
Researchers will investigate relapse rates in different socio-economic,
ethnic and age groups, and they will survey NHS Stop Smoking Services to
determine whether or not and how relapse prevention support is currently
offered.
"The government has estimated that with the smoking ban in public places
now in action up to 600,000 people across England will decide to quit
smoking," says Deborah Arnott, Director of Action on Smoking and Health.
"It is vital that effective smoking cessation strategies are in place to
help them with this. We welcome this research which will help the
development of NHS Stop Smoking Services, and help health professionals to
be more confident about the best treatments to offer."

2. The HTA programme is a programme of the National Institute for Health
Research (NIHR) and produces high quality research information about the
effectiveness, costs, and broader impact of health technologies for those
who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. It is the largest of the NIHR
programmes and publishes the results of its research in the Health
Technology Assessment journal, with more than 380 issues published to
date. The journal's 2006 Impact Factor (5.29) ranked it in the top 10% of
medical and health-related journals. All issues are available for download
free of charge from the website, http://www.hta.ac.uk The HTA programme is
coordinated by the National Coordinating Centre for Health Technology
Assessment (NCCHTA), based at the University of Southampton.
3. The National Institute for Health Research provides the framework
through which the research staff and research infrastructure of the NHS in
England is positioned, maintained and managed as a national research
facility. The NIHR provides the NHS with the support and infrastructure it
needs to conduct first-class research funded by the Government and its
partners alongside high-quality patient care, education and training. Its
aim is to support outstanding individuals (both leaders and
collaborators), working in world class facilities (both NHS and
university), conducting leading edge research focused on the needs of
patients. http://www.nihr.ac.uk
