Understanding barriers and identifying solutions for smoking cessation in primary care: survey results informed by an integrated knowledge translation approach in British Columbia, Canada
This project emphasises the need for an interdisciplinary approach to smoking cessation centred around integration of resources, training and policies into current workflows (such as electronic medical records or a centralised platform for information). Important gaps have been illuminated in the processes that support smoking cessation in primary care in British Columbia.
