Adherence to the 5A and 5R smoking cessation counselling models among Turkish family physicians: a multicenter cross-sectional study

Listen to this summary

This study aimed to assess the adherence of Turkish family physicians to the 5A and 5R smoking cessation counselling models and identify factors influencing their counselling practices. The findings revealed that while some steps of the models were implemented more frequently, overall adherence was low, with only a small percentage of physicians applying the full frameworks. The results highlight significant gaps between recommended guidelines and actual practice, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and training programs.
