Many hospitals, including some Veterans Affairs Medical Centers (VAMCs), have implemented policies requiring smoking cessation prior to elective surgeries. Rural Veterans are more likely to smoke and have less access to care than their urban counterparts, and thus may be impacted to a greater extent by these policies. 000009599 540__ $$fCC BY 000009599 542__ $$fIn copyright - joint owners 000009599 650__ $$aRural Population$$025633 000009599 650__ $$aSmoking Cessation$$029204 000009599 650__ $$aTobacco$$027130 000009599 650__ $$aVeterans$$027802 000009599 6531_ $$aelective surgery 000009599 7001_ $$aYoung, Allison$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009599 7001_ $$aGolden, Sara$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009599 7001_ $$aGundle, Kenneth$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009599 7001_ $$aSlatore, Christopher$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009599 7001_ $$aBailey, Steffani$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009599 711__ $$aResearch Week$$uOregon Health and Science University$$d2022 000009599 8564_ $$9c7215ce6-2202-4a5e-83aa-bb6bf7e3a96d$$s29477$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9599/files/Young-Allison-OHSU-ResearchWeek-2022.pdf 000009599 905__ $$a/rest/prod/8s/45/q9/53/8s45q953g 000009599 980__ $$aResearch Week
