There is moderate‐certainty evidence that automated text message‐based smoking cessation interventions result in greater quit rates than minimal smoking cessation support. There is moderate‐certainty evidence of the benefit of text messaging interventions in addition to other smoking cessation support in comparison with that smoking cessation support alone. The evidence comparing smartphone apps with less intensive support was of very low certainty, and more randomised controlled trials ...

In this Cochrane review, the authors searched for randomised trials of the effects of health checks on illness and deaths. They did not restrict their searches by language of publication and did the most recent search in January 31 2018. They included 17 trials. Health checks have little or no effect on total mortality or cancer mortality and were found likely to have little or no effect on cardiovascular mortality. Health checks had little or no effect on fatal and non-fatal ischaemic heart ...

There is high‐certainty evidence that using combination NRT versus single‐form NRT, and 4 mg versus 2 mg nicotine gum, can increase the chances of successfully stopping smoking. For patch dose comparisons, evidence was of moderate certainty, due to imprecision. Twenty‐one mg patches resulted in higher quit rates than 14 mg (24‐hour) patches, and using 25 mg patches resulted in higher quit rates than using 15 mg (16‐hour) patches, although in the latter case the CI included one. There ...

Based on a small and heterogeneous sample of controlled intervention studies and in contrast to prevailing consensus that supervisor behaviour influences employees' health and well‐being, we found inconsistent evidence that supervisor training may or may not improve employees' well‐being when compared to no intervention. For all other types of interventions and outcomes, there was no evidence of a considerable effect. However, due to the very low‐ to moderate‐quality of the evidence ...

There is moderate-certainty evidence that preventive telephone counseling helps smokers seeking help on smoking cessation lines, and moderate-certainty evidence that preventive telephone counseling increases quit rates in smokers from other settings. Current evidence is insufficient to assess potential variations in the effect of differences in the number of contacts, the type or timing of telephone counseling, or when telephone counseling is provided as an adjunct to other smoking cessation ...
