The Impact of NHS Stop Smoking Services: A UEiHPaPH L4 Presentation

This presentation evaluates the impact of the NHS Stop Smoking Services on smoking prevalence in England, focusing on a simulation modeling evaluation. It begins with an introduction and literature review, defining key terms like information literacy and evidenced-based public health. The presentation explores the importance of the literature review question for public health, utilizes the PICO framework to structure the research question, and discusses the search strategy employed. It summarizes and critiques a relevant scientific article, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses. The study indicates that the NHS Stop Smoking Services contributed to a decrease in smoking prevalence in England, offering valuable insights into the effectiveness of interventions aimed at reducing smoking rates. The presentation is designed for the course 'Using Evidence in Health Promotion and Public Health' (UEiHPaPH L4) and includes definitions, a PICO framework analysis, and a discussion of the search strategy and a chosen article's strengths and weaknesses.

This presentation will consider the article “Impact of the NHS Stop Smoking Services on smoking
prevalence in England: a simulation modelling evaluation”, which is particularly considered to be an
intervention that was taken into consideration by Healthcare department of England to reduce the number
of smokers in all over United Kingdom (Specifically England).
Along with this, the particular question that has been taken is “Is attitudes of United Kingdom’s
citizens (Male and Female in the age between (25 to 60)), who smokes is relevant towards the healthcare
interventions which has been taken into consideration i.e. NHS Stop Smoking Services?”
Introduction and Literature review

Definition of information literacy
Set of incorporated capacities including the intelligent revelation of data, the comprehension of how data is delivered
and esteemed and the utilization of data in making new information and taking an interest morally in networks of learning.
Definition of evidenced-based public health
It is defined as indicating a way to deal with medication, training, and different controls that accentuates the down to
earth use of the discoveries of the best accessible research and flow look into.
Definition of literature review
A writing audit or story survey is a kind of audit article. A writing survey is an insightful paper, which incorporates
the present information including substantive discoveries, just as hypothetical and methodological commitments to a
specific subject.
Definition of Information Literacy, evidence-
based public review and Literature Review

The question i.e. “Is attitudes of United Kingdom’s citizens (Male and Female in the age between (25 to 60)),
who smokes is relevant towards the healthcare interventions which has been taken into consideration i.e. NHS
Stop Smoking Services?” is considered to be one of the important subject that needs proper attention so that
some of the diseases like lung cancer, asthama and all could be reduced to minimal. With the help of right
decisions in relation to the same, may lead healthcare departments like NHS and more to minimal the death rate
of individuals who smokes cigarettes, tobacco, marijuana or any other substance.
Why is the literature review question important
for people’s health

The PICO process (or framework) is a mnemonic used in evidence based practice (and specifically Evidence Based Medicine) to frame and
answer a clinical or health care related question. The PICO framework is also used to develop literature search strategies, for instance in
systematic reviews
Framework of the developed question
P – Male and Female in the age between (25 to 60)
I – NHS Stop Smoking Services
C – State-transition model
O – The percentage point reduction in smoking prevalence each year
PICO framework

Basically, Around 15% of the rate point decrease in smoking commonness during 2001–
2016 in England might be inferable from the NHS SSS, in spite of the fact that
vulnerability remains with respect to the real effect of the conventional smoking end
administrations.
Summary discussion of the search strategy
undertaken

Qualitative study using community participatory methods, purposeful sampling, interviews and focus groups, and a grounded approach to data
generation and analysis.
Setting
England
Participants
Male and Female in the age between (25 to 60), including smokers, former smokers, and smokers' relatives, from the England communities has
been taken into consideration.
Summary description of the article

Strengths
Stopping smokers with SSS support had a higher achievement rate than those without SSS support (15.1% versus 11.3%). Smoking
predominance in England kept on declining after the SSS was quite decreased from 2013 onwards.
Weakness
These numbers usually arise due to mislead and rise among addictive elements in relation to Tar in cigarettes and so on.
