Efficacy of e-health interventions for smoking cessation management in smokers: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Smoking is one of the major risk factors for shortened lifespan and disability, while smoking cessation is currently the only guaranteed method to reduce the harm caused by smoking. E-health is a field that utilizes information and communication technology to support the health status of its users. The emergence of this digital health approach has provided a new way of smoking cessation support for smokers seeking help, and an increasing number of researchers are attempting to use e-health for a wide range of effective smoking cessation interventions. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies that used e-health as a smoking cessation support tool.

Methods
