Total intervention costs are based on monthly incremental costs per patient in the smoking registry per month applied to the total number of follow-up months for each study clinic. Due to staggered enrollment of clinics into the study, the number of follow-up months varied by clinic. Pre-implementation and post-implementation counseling and medication rates were estimated by repeated random draws from the monthly pre- and post-implementation distributions.
