Project Background & Contact
Research shows that for every 33 conversations health professionals have with patients about their smoking, one will result in a patient successfully quitting.
Start the conversation was developed as part of the larger Supporting Patients to be Smokefree Project. It aimed to ensure all people who access the Victorian health system and are asked about their smoking and offered support to quit.
This project was led by Alfred Health and funded by the Victorian Department of Health.
