AI-generated Abstract
A significant gap exists in the provision of smoking cessation services within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), particularly for inpatient smokers. Despite being motivated to quit, many veterans do not receive adequate assistance during hospital stays. This paper evaluates the implementation of the Tobacco Tactics program, designed to enhance smoking cessation support for inpatient veterans through a structured intervention involving training and resource provision. The study employs the Precede-Proceed planning model to assess the program's real-world effectiveness and identifies improvements in service delivery and patient satisfaction outcomes post-intervention.
