Discussing smoking after such a screening, enables general practices to identify younger and relatively healthy smokers and offer them cessation support. Prior to the intervention study, which will be rolled-out as a cluster randomized trial in general practices, qualitative studies were performed.
These qualitative studies included: a) an interview study among female smokers to explore their perspectives and attitudes towards an unsolicited discussion about smoking or smoking cessation after the cervical cancer screening, and b) a focus group study among health professionals (nurses, assistants and GP's) to explore the intervention’s acceptability. The SUCCESS study is a cooperation between LUMC and Amsterdam UMC.
