Cigarette smoking contributes substantially to the increased financial- and health-related burdens among adults experiencing homelessness. We describe findings from a case study of a model to increase access to cessation services among adults experiencing homelessness. In partnership with Project Homeless Connect (PHC), we piloted a unique service delivery model that involved providing brief cessation counseling and pharmacotherapy to smokers from this population attending large-scale service events in San Francisco, with the goal of connecting them to long-term smoking cessation care. We participated in three service events between October 2017 and March 2018. We offered brief smoking cessation counseling to 45 individuals, and smoking cessation counseling and pharmacotherapy to 7 individuals experiencing homelessness. This model could improve public health if expanded to other cities, particularly the 200 other cities in the United States offering PHC service events.
吸烟在很大程度上导致了无家可归成年人在经济和健康方面负担的增加。我们描述了一个旨在增加无家可归成年人戒烟服务可及性的模型的案例研究结果。我们与“无家可归者连接项目”（PHC）合作，试点了一种独特的服务提供模式，该模式包括为参加旧金山大型服务活动的这类吸烟者提供简短的戒烟咨询和药物治疗，目标是让他们获得长期戒烟护理。我们在2017年10月至2018年3月期间参与了三次服务活动。我们为45人提供了简短的戒烟咨询，为7名无家可归者提供了戒烟咨询和药物治疗。如果推广到其他城市，尤其是美国提供PHC服务活动的其他200个城市，这种模式可能会改善公众健康。
