Reviewers conducted a search for studies in March 2012 and identified 15 RCTs published between 1988 and 2010. Given the changes in attitudes toward smoking (particularly in the countries in which the trials were conducted) and in methods of training, little evidence is available reflecting the impact of training in current clinical practice (2019).
