CRD SUMMARY:

The review concluded that financial incentives for healthcare professionals appeared to improve recording of smoking status and increase provision of cessation advice and referrals to cessation services. There was insufficient evidence to show that financial incentives led to reductions in smoking rates. The authors’ conclusions reflect the evidence presented but data limitations may affect their reliability.
