Study characteristics
Methods Design: Randomized controlled trial
Setting: 15 primary care centres, 2 hospitals, Spain
Recruitment: Identified through practice records
Participants 280 people who smoked with diabetes (incl 16 recent quitters) aged 17 ‐ 84 (133 control, 147 intervention), average age 40.7, 19 cpd, 15% female, did not need to be motivated to quit
Interventions Intervention: participants received a 40‐minute, face‐to‐face interview on smoking cessation with a nurse and set a quit date. Participants also received self‐help materials. All of those who smoked heavily received nicotine patches unless contraindicated. In addition, participants were provided with a follow‐up program consisting of 5 contacts: a telephone call the day before the quit date, a follow‐up visit 2 weeks after the quit date, a letter 3 weeks after the quit day, a second follow‐up visit 2 months after the quit date, and a final evaluation after 6 months.
Control: participants received usual care, established in the Navarre diabetes care program, including advice to quit smoking. No further details reported
Outcomes > 5m sustained abstinence at 6m
Quit attempts
Validation: Urine cotinine < 20 ng/ml
Funding Source Not reported
Author's declarations of interest Not reported
Notes Strategy: Adjunctive counseling
Level: Patient
Comparison type: Single component vs. standard care
It is not possible to separate the primary care settings' data from the secondary care settings' data, and so this study is not included in any meta‐analyses
Risk of bias

Sequence Generation Low risk Computer‐generated allocation method
Allocation concealment Low risk Sealed envelopes
Blinding of outcome assessors
All outcomes Low risk Smoking status was validated by urinary cotinine
Incomplete outcome data
All outcomes Low risk Overall, 0.7% of participants were lost to follow‐up
