ABSTRACT
<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>The World Health Organization's "Framework Convention on Tobacco Control" came into effect in China in 2006. Since then, a series of tobacco control measures has been undertaken, including the first step to establish a coordinated network of stop-smoking clinics in Chinese hospitals. Training for stop-smoking specialists has been traditionally provided via printed materials. This study evaluated the outcomes of the first two intensive 3-day courses in smoking cessation in China run in collaboration with experts who provide training to UK Specialist Stop Smoking Service.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Eighty-four doctors from 38 cities in China responsible for stop-smoking treatment in 20 provinces and four autonomous regions participated in the training courses. Participants' knowledge competencies and self-efficacy were assessed before and after the authentication training.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The training significantly improved participants' knowledge, skills and self-efficacy across different domains. Forty-eight participants were finally certified as "smoking cessation specialist".</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The UK model of face-to-face training was acceptable and effective in China. A relatively brief intensive training program can generate significant improvements in skills, knowledge, and readiness to engage in smoking cessation activities.</p>
