QUIT Service Evaluation: Literature Review

The main purpose of this literature review was to support the development of our statistical analysis plan as part of the QUIT stop smoking service evaluation. 

To find out what affects smokers' success in quitting smoking after contacting the service, research was needed to identify what characteristics of the individual smokers and the healthcare setting might be important for success in quitting. 

We looked at academic papers published between 2008 and 2021 that estimated the influence of different factors on success in quitting smoking. 

The results of the review summarise the list of factors that previous studies have found to have an influence on quitting outcomes. The list of factors was then used to inform discussions about what data fields it would be important for the service to collect because that data could be important for helping the service to understand variation in quitting outcomes.
