Tailoring a national smoking cessation support programme in co-creation with (expectant) parents in vulnerable situations.
Article in BMC public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSmoking prevalence and limited access to cessation support contribute to persistent health inequities among (expectant) parents in vulnerable situations. Co-creation may help align smoking cessation support with the lived contexts and needs of this group. This study documents and evaluates the use of co-creation to explore contextual barriers and needs, and to inform adaptations to Smoke-free Parents (SFP), a Dutch telephone-based smoking cessation programme.
methodsFive co-creation sessions were conducted with (expectant) parents, smoking cessation counsellors, healthcare professionals, and researchers. Activities included photo-based brainstorming, peer interviews, creating fictional user profiles, and user journey mapping. Participants identified barriers to engagement with SFP and retention in SFP, brainstormed adaptations, and prioritized these. Data were thematically analysed. The co-creation process and its outputs were evaluated through interviews and a group discussion.
resultsThree parents, two counsellors, two healthcare professionals, and two researchers participated. Identified contextual barriers included stressful life circumstances, pro-smoking social norms, shame, fear of failure, and limited discussion of smoking and cessation support with professionals. Participants highlighted the need for accessible and personalized services and involving social networks. Proposed adaptations included raising awareness of SFP among professionals and (expectant) parents, offering more diverse forms of coaching (telephone, video call, group, face-to-face), and facilitating involvement of partners or other supportive persons. Participants evaluated both the co-creation process and outcomes positively (mean satisfaction score 8.3/10).
conclusionsThis study illustrates how co-creation can be used to explore context and needs related to smoking cessation support among (expectant) parents in vulnerable situations, and to inform adaptations. Wider use of such co-creation approaches may support more equitable access to cessation support.
