Abstinence was collected at 4-weeks (biochemically verified), 8-weeks (primary outcome, self-reported), and 6-months (self-reported) post quit date. Multilevel modelling assessed associations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of 121 BCTs, 85 were delivered in at least one consultation. A mean of 13.4 (SD\u2009=\u20092.76) of recommended BCTs were delivered, with 33% (10\/30) delivered in at least half of the consultations. Total BCTs delivered were not associated with abstinence. Delivery of more guideline-recommended BCTs was only associated with abstinence at 4 weeks (OR\u2009=\u20091.03, 95% CI 1.00\u20131.06; P = .03). One BCT was positively associated, and one negatively associated with abstinence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>One-third of recommended BCTs were delivered in at least 50% of initial consultations, with delivery associated with short-term abstinence.
