Summary
In a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT), smokers hospitalized on the general internal medicine or family medicine service will be randomized to: 1) enhanced traditional care (ETC), or 2) patient navigation (PN). Patients will be assessed at 3 months for self-report of quitting, use of smoking cessation medications, and use of counseling in the outpatient setting. Medical charts will be reviewed to ascertain if a prescription for smoking cessation medications was sent to the participants' pharmacy (primary outcome), if participants received inpatient tobacco counseling from the Tobacco Treatment Service (TTS), and whether they had a diagnosis of mental health and substance use.
