Why patient smoking cessation support surveys matter
If you’re not running Patient Smoking Cessation Support surveys, you’re missing critical insights that drive better quitting rates and more personalized support. About 67.7% of U.S. adults who smoke want to quit, but only 8.8% succeed. That’s a massive gap between intention and lasting results—and without real feedback from patients, we can’t close it. [1]
Why do these surveys matter so much?
Understand barriers: Many patients try quitting, but hidden obstacles (misinformation, lack of support) aren’t always obvious without honest, conversational feedback.
Pinpoint effective interventions: Only about half of smokers receiving healthcare advice actually get support to quit. Proper surveys reveal which interventions patients found useful versus what just didn’t land. [1]
Identify missed opportunities: Over 25% of healthcare providers never or rarely ask patients about smoking at all. That means entire patient populations slip through the cracks. [6]
Boost program success: Well-designed feedback loops spotlight what’s working, so you can replicate success and correct what isn’t.
Skipping these surveys means staying in the dark about the real patient journey—and missing actionable ways to improve outcomes. For tips on crafting strong surveys, see our guide to the best questions for Patient Smoking Cessation Support surveys.
AI survey generator vs. traditional survey tools
Let’s face it: creating effective, engaging patient surveys is tough with standard form tools. With an AI survey generator like Specific, you just describe your goal—like “I want to understand what helped patients quit smoking”—and the AI builds the whole survey for you, using its expert-level knowledge of behavioral health, conversation, and survey logic.
Here’s a quick comparison:
Manual Surveys | AI Survey Generator (Specific) |
---|---|
Write every question from scratch | Survey built for you instantly from a prompt |
Little to no follow-up logic | Smart, real-time follow-up questions |
Can feel impersonal | Conversational, natural chat experience |
Manual analysis required | AI-powered, instant insights |
Why use AI for patient surveys? In one meta-analysis, people in conversational AI interventions were 29% more likely to quit smoking at six months compared to standard approaches. The right survey generator isn’t just convenient—it really can change patient outcomes. [3]
Specific’s conversational survey builder does all the heavy lifting, from generating expert-level questions to creating follow-up logic and making every response feel like a natural, helpful conversation. You get specialized user experience, and your patients feel genuinely listened to.

Designing survey questions that drive real insight
Too often, patient feedback is lost to vague or biased questions. A bad example: “Did you find our program helpful?” That’s likely to get a yes/no answer and little else.
Here’s a better question: “Can you describe any resources or support that helped you most during your quit attempt?”
Specific’s AI-driven survey builder helps craft focused questions that reduce bias, stay open-ended when it matters, and use language that’s relatable for patients. It won’t let you fall into the trap of pushy or confusing wording. For step-by-step advice on crafting great questions, check out our article on the best questions for Patient Smoking Cessation Support surveys.
If you want to improve your own survey questions, here’s one guideline: always ask for experiences, not just opinions. For instance, instead of “Was counseling useful?”, ask “What specific part of the counseling session helped (or didn’t help) you quit smoking?” That way, you gather actionable stories—what patients really did or struggled with, not just how they felt in the moment.
With Specific, you don’t need to be a survey expert—the AI keeps every question sharp and meaningful.
Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply
What sets a conversational survey apart is the ability to ask smart, contextual follow-ups—just like a live interview. With Specific, the AI automatically generates follow-up questions in real time, based on each patient’s previous replies. Instead of static forms or endless email back-and-forth, you get all the depth you need in one smooth session.
Example of what happens without follow-up questions:
Patient: The group meeting was helpful.
[No follow-up.] (Result: Unclear what exactly helped or how.)
With AI-powered follow-ups, you get:
Patient: The group meeting was helpful.
AI follow-up: What about the group meeting did you find most helpful in supporting your quit attempt?
These dynamic follow-ups collect fuller stories and richer data in the moment, without making surveys feel endless. No more sending extra emails for clarification—Specific’s automatic AI follow-up questions handle it for you.
Give it a try and see how a real conversation feels—it’s completely different from the static forms we’re all used to.
Follow-ups make every survey a true conversation, turning ordinary feedback collection into a natural, engaging dialogue.
Deliver your survey: landing page and in-product options
Distributing a Patient Smoking Cessation Support survey should fit your patients, not the other way around. With Specific, you have flexible ways to reach your audience:
Sharable landing page surveys: Create a dedicated link to your survey—perfect for clinics emailing patients after appointments, community health organizations sharing with support groups, or even QR codes in waiting rooms. Patients can respond whenever works for them, on any device.
In-product surveys: If you’re supporting patients through a portal or health app, embed the AI survey right inside your platform, triggering it after a quit attempt or counseling session. This delivers feedback when the experience is still fresh.
For most Patient Smoking Cessation Support use cases, the landing page method is ideal—especially when gathering feedback outside digital health apps. For digital-first health services, in-product surveys ensure you capture real-time responses in context.
Analyzing responses is instant with AI
No more messy spreadsheets. With Specific’s AI survey analysis, all your responses are instantly summed up, key themes found, and actionable next steps surfaced—no manual sorting or sifting required. The analysis detects topics, sentiment, and even lets you chat directly with AI about the results.
