Patient and public involvement
depression, tobacco addiction, anxiety
Persons with lived experience of depression, anxiety and tobacco addiction contributed to the study design, the design of study materials and the debriefing process. The research aims and design were reviewed by the UK Centre for Tobacco and Alcohol Studies Smokers' Panel. In general, the study's concept was well received, understood and thought to be an important area of research. We consulted with the UK Centre for Tobacco and Alcohol Studies Smokers' Panel and the Elizabeth Blackwell Institute's Patient and Public Involvement Panel to develop the interview schedules.
