It involved 13 staff from a Stop Smoking Service (SSS) which operates across three Local Authorities in England (Central Bedfordshire, Bedford Borough and Milton Keynes). Staff\u2019s outreach sought to engage people from the most deprived areas who smoked but were not engaging with the service.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The co-inquiry comprised six reflection sessions and ethnographic research which aimed to explicate and examine staff\u2019s assumptions about how outreach works, conducted over 12 months. Data included 32 diary entries, eight observations of staff\u2019s outreach events, 10 interviews with staff and eight interviews with members of the communities being targeted. Data were reflected on to develop a \u2018real-world\u2019 logic model and summarised using thematic analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Professionally led outreach can raise awareness of service offers, remove access barriers and generate referrals. A non-judgemental, person-centred approach is vital through which staff carefully initiate conversations with community members about smoking, and tailor information to community members\u2019 needs and preferences. Such an approach, in combination with an e-cigarette support option, can generate interest in SSS and challenge negative perceptions. However, outreach is time-consuming for busy frontline staff, unpredictable and best implemented via effective community partnerships.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our findings suggest that stop smoking advisors\u2019 outreach can contribute substantially to national ambition to create a \u2018smoke free generation\u2019 provided that sufficient investment is provided. Professionally led outreach, delivered in partnership with community organisations, can generate referrals among people who are disconnected from health services. Such non-traditional referral routes are likely to become more significant as smoking prevalence further declines in the general population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/17579139251322314","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,1]],"date-time":"2025-04-01T10:12:36Z","timestamp":1743502356000},"page":"97-104","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["How can engagement with underserved communities be enhanced?
