Potential Projects

Smoking cessation [DHSRU website] - Tobacco use, responsible for 13,000 deaths annually, is the biggest single cause of preventable death and disease in Scotland. A pilot study showed that a modest increase in smoking cessation rate followed chair-side advice and counselling. There is potential for further studies to determine the best way to deliver such advice, the most fruitful techniques, which staff should be involved, and how to measure the effectiveness
