The Consortium of Hospitals Advancing Research on Tobacco (CHART) is a network of six projects and a research coordinating unit funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, the National Cancer Institute, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Behavioral and Social Science Research. The CHART projects will assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of smoking cessation interventions initiated during hospitalization and continued post-discharge.
METHODS/DESIGN: Along with a seventh project funded previously under the NIH Challenge grants, the CHART projects will assess smoking cessation strategies delivered to approximately 10,000 hospitalized smokers across a geographically diverse group of nearly 20 private, public, academic, and community hospitals. The CHART research coordinating unit at Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research provides organizational and data coordination support, facilitating the development of common measures for combining data from multiple CHART projects.
The targeted enrollment in CHART, if achieved, will represent the largest, most diverse pooled dataset of hospitalized smokers receiving smoking cessation assistance, and is designed to contribute to the dissemination and implementation of smoking cessation interventions provided by hospital systems.
医院推进烟草研究联合会（CHART）是由美国国立心肺血液研究所、国立癌症研究所、国立药物滥用研究所和美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）行为与社会科学研究办公室共同资助的六个项目和一个研究协调单位组成的网络。CHART 项目将评估在住院期间启动并在出院后继续进行的戒烟干预措施的有效性和成本效益。
方法/设计：除了之前由 NIH 挑战赛资助的第七个项目外，CHART 项目将评估大约 10000 名住院吸烟者在一个地理上多样化的近 20 家私人、公立、学术和社区医院群体中接受的戒烟策略。Kaiser Permanente 健康研究中心的 CHART 研究协调单位提供组织和数据协调支持，促进了从多个 CHART 项目中合并数据的通用措施的制定。
如果 CHART 的目标入组人数得以实现，这将代表接受戒烟辅助的住院吸烟者中最大、最多样化的汇集数据集，旨在促进医院系统提供的戒烟干预措施的传播和实施。
