| Abstract |
Smokers receiving support in specialist centres tend to have a higher short-term quit rate, compared with those receiving support in other settings from professionals for whom smoking cessation is only a part of their work. We investigated the difference in longer-term abstinence after short-term smoking cessation treatment from specialist and non-specialist smoking cessation services. We conducted a secondary analysis of data from a randomised controlled trial of self-help booklets for the prevention of smoking relapse. The trial included 1,088 short-term quitters from specialist stop smoking clinics and 316 from non-specialist cessation services (such as general practice, pharmacies, and health trainer services). The difference in prolonged smoking abstinence from months four to 12 between specialist and non-specialist services was compared. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to investigate the association between continuous smoking abstinence and the type of smoking cessation services, adjusted for possible confounding factors (including demographic, socioeconomic, and smoking history variables). The proportion of continuous abstinence from four to 12 months was higher in short-term quitters from specialist services compared with those from non-specialist services (39% vs. 32%; P=0.023). After adjusting for a range of participant characteristics and smoking variables, the specialist service was significantly associated with a higher rate of longer-term smoking abstinence (odds ratio 1.48, 95% CI: 1.09 to 2.00; P=0.011). People who receive support to stop smoking from a specialist appear to be at lower risk of relapse than those receiving support from a non-specialist advisor. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 April 2016.
All research outputs
#6,795,137
of 22,817,213 outputs
Outputs from Nicotine & Tobacco Research
#1,702
of 3,077 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#78,376
of 262,273 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nicotine & Tobacco Research
#25
of 52 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,817,213 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 69th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,077 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 19.1. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 262,273 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 52 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 51% of its contemporaries.
