Web-delivered Provider Intervention for Tobacco Control

This is a randomized control trial to determine the efficacy of a multi-modal intervention
in improving smoking cessation processes of care and patient outcomes in community-based
primary care practices. Our Overall Goal is to advance science related to the use and impact
of the Internet in health services delivery, specifically smoking cessation, by targeting
primary care clinical microsystems. A clinical microsystem is defined as the smallest
functional healthcare unit. A clinical microsystem is not simply equivalent to a clinical
team of doctors and nurses, but also the panel of patients cared for by the providers and
the processes of care that are used.
