Combining Default Choices and a Decision Aid to Improve Tobacco Cessation

1\) a one-time, in-person, 2.5-hour training program encouraging participating GPs to present quitting smoking with a quit aid as the default choice to their eligible patients, and 2) access to an electronic decision aid that presents available quit aids. The 2.5-hour training program consists of: 1.5 hours of didactic teaching, with information about pharmacologic quit aids, electronic cigarettes, presenting quitting as a default choice, the decision aid, and a video of a model consultation. This is followed by 1 hour of role plays to practice presenting quitting as a default choice using the decision aid.

A 45-minute refresher training about smoking cessation that does not aim to change GP behaviour. It will include the same information about pharmacologic quit aids and electronic cigarettes.
