Coventry University study to find best way to provide local stop smoking information

Lead researcher at Coventry University, said:

We know that smokers who attend NHS Stop Smoking Services are four times more likely to stop smoking but uptake of these services is in decline. This is why it is so important to harness technology and look at the best way we can provide smokers with information about the services available locally. “We would like to invite anyone who smokes, aged 16+ who lives or works in Warwickshire to take part and help themselves and other people like them to quit for good in the future.”

Professor Katherine Brown

Pro-Vice-Chancellor from the university’s Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, said:

We know that stopping smoking is one of the best thing someone can do to improve their health and for many people, having a network of support can make all the difference. We want to ensure that system of support is open to everyone looking to make big changes to their health across Coventry and Warwickshire.”
