Summary
Brief summary
"GIVE UP FOR GOOD" (Copyright) is a research study, evaluating the effectiveness of a pharmacist-led multidisciplinary system change smoking cessation intervention for smokers admitted to Victorian hospitals. Approximately 200 smokers will be recruited from each of three participating Victorian hospitals (The Alfred, Austin Health & Barwon Health). Participants will have an equal chance of being randomly allocated to either the intervention or usual care (control) group.

Participants randomized to "Give up for Good" program will receive a series of smoking cessation counseling sessions by a specially trained pharmacist over the course of at least three sessions. The first during the hospital stay, second on discharge or immediately after the discharge and third within one month post-discharge. All smoking cessation medications during the hospital stay and for at least one week after discharge will be provided free of charge. When participants are discharged from hospital, the pharmacist will communicate with the participant's General Practitioner and community pharmacist about further smoking cessation support. Participants randomized to usual care group receive the current routine care provided by the hospital.

All the participants will be followed up for a period of 12 months. All measurements at baseline, discharge, 1 month, 6 months and 12 months will be performed by a Research Assistant blinded to group allocation. The main outcome measures are abstinence from smoking on discharge, and 1 month, 6 months and 12 months post-discharge.
