Integrated health behaviour services briefing

This briefing takes a look at the evidence on whether integrated health behaviour (lifestyle) services are effective and cost-effective, and makes recommendations about how the commissioning of smoking cessation services should be approached in relation to other services tackling physical inactivity, poor diet and alcohol.

Whilst the briefing’s conclusion that smoking is best tackled in isolation rather than as part of an intervention targeting multiple behaviours, the data it uses is no longer current.

We have no reason to doubt that the conclusions still stand and it remains accessible in our archive.
