TL;DR
An intervention focused on supporting smokers’ autonomy was effective in increasing prolonged tobacco abstinence and lowering LDL-C in a randomized multiple risk behavior change intervention trial.
Abstract
An intervention focused on supporting smokers'autonomy was effective in increasing prolonged tobacco abstinence and lowering LDL-C. Clinical interventions for behavior change may be improved by increasing patient autonomy and perceived competence.
