Limitations
Despite the valuable insights provided by this study, there are some limitations that should be acknowledged. Firstly, the sample size was relatively small, with only 28 doctors and other health professionals specialized in smoking cessation participating in the study. This limited sample size may affect the generalizability of the findings and the representativeness of the sample.Secondly, the study was conducted in France, which has a unique healthcare system and cultural context. This may limit the applicability of the findings to other countries with no universal health care system.Thirdly, the questionnaire used in this study was auto-filled, which may have led to some bias in the responses. While the use of an auto-filled questionnaire ensured consistency in the responses, it may have limited the depth and richness of the data collected.Finally, the recruiters who participated in the study were not working in the same conditions. This may have influenced their perceptions and experiences with delivering the intervention and may have affected the results.Addressing these limitations in future studies will enhance our understanding of the issues facing disadvantaged populations and inform the development of more effective smoking cessation interventions.
