Persons with physical disabilities report higher cigarette smoking rates and a lower likelihood of accessing health services (e.g., smoking cessation services). Explicit and systematic application of behaviour change theory may be a promising approach to addressing these inequities and developing impactful smoking cessation interventions for persons with physical disabilities.
Our research aims to explore how behaviour change theory and intervention components have been used to design smoking cessation interventions for persons with physical disabilities.
