Multimethod feasibility evaluation of smoking cessation intervention for patients receiving opioid agonist therapy
Participant retention and qualitative results support the feasibility of the tested intervention, indicating that implementing integrated smoking cessation treatments in opioid agonist therapy clinics was feasible and acceptable to patients. The low number of participants quitting indicated low feasibility for smoking cessation. Simultaneously, the more than halving of the number of cigarettes smoked suggests that the progression of the intervention should have a reduction in the number of cigarettes smoked as the primary aim. However, the impact of this intervention requires thorough evaluation through a sufficiently powered randomised controlled trial.
