The objective of this study was to measure the impact of 2 smoking cessation policies\u2014one imposed in a specific psychiatric hospital and the other across the entire province of Ontario\u2014on weekly visit rates to a psychiatric emergency department.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n Administrative data records from consecutive patient visits to a psychiatric emergency department were grouped by week from March 1, 2002, to December 31, 2005. The patients were grouped into 3 broad diagnostic categories: substance-related disorders, psychotic disorders, and other disorders. The impact of 2 smoking cessation policies\u2014one imposed on September 21, 2005 at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) and one imposed on May 31, 2006 across the province of Ontario\u2014on psychiatric emergency department visit rates was measured using time series analysis.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n The CAMH-specific smoking cessation policy had no impact on psychiatric emergency department visit rates in any diagnostic category. The province-wide smoking cessation policy resulted in a 15.5% reduction in patient visits for patients with a primary diagnosis of psychotic disorder.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n The benefits of a smoking cessation policy need to be balanced by the impact of the policy on the likelihood of patients to seek treatment.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/070674370805301110","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,11]],"date-time":"2017-01-11T17:08:48Z","timestamp":1484154528000},"page":"779-782","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["The Impact of a Smoking Cessation Policy on Visits to a Psychiatric Emergency Department"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"53","author":[{"given":"Paul","family":"Kurdyak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Head of Emergency Crisis Services, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Toronto, Ontario"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Cairney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Senior Scientist, Health Systems Research and Consulting Unit, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Toronto, Ontario"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Sarnocinska-Hart","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Analyst, Health Systems Research and Consulting Unit, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Toronto, Ontario"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Russell C","family":"Callahan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Assistant Professor, Department of Public Health Sciences, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carol","family":"Strike","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Scientist, Health Systems Research and Consulting Unit, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Toronto, Ontario; Department of Public Health Sciences, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,11,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-070674370805301110","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/j.1440-1614.2005.01697.x"},{"key":"bibr2-070674370805301110","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.ps.53.12.1617"},{"key":"bibr3-070674370805301110","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.284.20.2606"},{"key":"bibr4-070674370805301110","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.2004.058164"},{"key":"bibr5-070674370805301110","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/ajp.155.7.974"},{"key":"bibr6-070674370805301110","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/ajp.2006.163.11.1934"},{"key":"bibr7-070674370805301110","volume-title":"Government of Ontario [Internet]","author":"Government of Ontario","year":"2006"},{"key":"bibr8-070674370805301110","volume-title":"Time series analysis and its applications","author":"Shumway RH","year":"2005"}],"container-title":["The Canadian Journal of Psychiatry"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/070674370805301110","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/070674370805301110","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T16:11:05Z","timestamp":1777392665000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/070674370805301110"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2008,11]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"11","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2008,11]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/070674370805301110"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/070674370805301110","relation":{},"ISSN":["0706-7437","1497-0015"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0706-7437","type":"print"},{"value":"1497-0015","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2008,11]]}}}
