Smoking-cessation assistance: before and after stage 1 meaningful use implementation.
This study examined whether smoking status assessment, cessation assistance, and odds of being a current smoker changed after Stage 1 Meaningful Use (MU) implementation. Its findings suggest that incentives for MU of electronic health records increase the odds of smoking assessment and cessation assistance, which could lead to decreased smoking rates among vulnerable populations.

Assessing trends in tobacco cessation in diverse patient populations.
This study examined change in tobacco use over 4 years among the general population of patients in six diverse health care organizations using electronic medical record data. It found that among smokers who regularly used these care systems, one in seven had achieved long-term cessation after 4 years. The study shows the practicality of using electronic medical records for monitoring patient smoking status over time.

A content analysis of self-reported barriers and facilitators to preventing postpartum smoking relapse among a sample of current and former smokers in an underserved population.
The researchers conducted in-person interviews to characterize the barriers and facilitators that prevent postpartum relapse and maintain smoking abstinence among a socioeconomically underserved population. They found that participants reported four main strategies that helped them to successfully cope with postpartum cravings and relapses, including being informed of smoking risks, maintaining goal-oriented thoughts, focusing on their concerns about the baby's health, and receiving positive social support from families and friends.
