Résumé :

[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS sYbcR0xx. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Public health experts recommend that health insurance include coverage for smoking cessation treatment as an evidence-based strategy to reduce smoking. As employers, states can implement this policy for more than 5 million individuals nationwide. This study identified the extent to which states require smoking cessation treatment insurance coverage for their employees ; of 45 states, 29 required coverage for at least 1 US Public Health Service (PHS) - recommended treatment, and only 17 of 45 provided coverage that was fully consistent with PHS recommendations.
