Variations in treatment benefits influence smoking cessation: results of a randomised controlled trial

This is a critical abstract of an economic evaluation that meets the criteria for inclusion on NHS EED. Each abstract contains a brief summary of the methods, the results and conclusions followed by a detailed critical assessment on the reliability of the study and the conclusions drawn. Full coverage of a tobacco dependence treatment benefit, with no patient cost-sharing, was an effective strategy for increasing quit rates and quit attempts at low cost in a population of adult smokers with employer-based health insurance.
