Social and environmental factors during the smoking cessation process: The experiences of adults with serious mental illnesses
Our findings illustrate the importance of including social and environmental contexts in health interventions and serve as a reminder to consider social determinants of health when tailoring interventions to meet the unique needs of people living with SMI. These findings can inform the development of tobacco cessation programs in mental health programs, such as the need to incorporate group-based social support, nature-friendly environments, and social activities in the process of cessation.
