Klappentext zu „Financing Smoking Cessation Services “
Although the World Health Organization advocates that countries provide comprehensive smoking cessation services, few countries do. While the United States, United Kingdom, France, and Australia have developed tobacco treatment guidelines, few physicians adhere to them. Taiwan implemented the Smoking Cessation Outpatient Services program in 2002. Between 2002 and 2005, about 3500 physicians (10% of all physicians in Taiwan) completed the training and were certified to provide smoking cessation services. However, only 20,000 smokers (0.5%) have received treatment for their addictions in 2003. To promote these services to smokers, the Taiwanese government increased reimbursement rates and medication subsidies in 2005. This book provides an analysis of the effects of increasing in reimbursement rates and medication subsidies on physician participation in the program, patient utilization of services and cessation outcomes at six-month follow-up. Provider and consumer determinants on the provision, utilization, and smoking cessation outcomes are also presented.
