Treating co-morbid depression and nicotine dependence study invitation

Our Dean of Medicine, Professor Nick Zwar would like to extend an invitation to your practice to participate in “The Webquit pilot study”.

This research is being undertaken to learn more about how we can assist smokers with depression to quit smoking in primary care.

The intervention integrates a program delivered via the internet with support provided in general practice.

The aim of this study is to pilot the Webquit intervention in general practice to evaluate the program’s feasibility for both patients and health care providers.
