This study examined tobacco use prevalence, types of tobacco used, interest in quitting, and prior quit attempts among persons in methadone maintenance treatment.
Counselors collected surveys from 84% (550 of 655) of all clients in a 4-county metropolitan area.
Most clients (77%) smoked cigarettes. Of the 59 former tobacco users, only 6 reported using a cessation pharmacotherapy to quit. Three quarters of the current smokers had attempted to quit at least once, with an average of 5 attempts. Most smokers (80%) were "somewhat" or "very" interested in quitting.
The quit ratio among methadone maintenance treatment clients was 12%, compared with 50% nationwide. To reduce morbidity and mortality, cessation interventions must be developed and disseminated.
本研究调查了美沙酮维持治疗者的烟草使用流行情况、使用的烟草类型、戒烟意愿以及既往戒烟尝试情况。
在一个包含4个县的大都市地区，咨询师从所有客户的84%（655人中的550人）那里收集了调查问卷。
大多数客户（77%）吸烟。在59名既往烟草使用者中，只有6人报告使用过戒烟药物疗法来戒烟。四分之三的当前吸烟者至少尝试过一次戒烟，平均尝试次数为5次。大多数吸烟者（80%）“有点”或“非常”有戒烟意愿。
美沙酮维持治疗客户的戒烟率为12%，而全国范围为50%。为降低发病率和死亡率，必须制定并推广戒烟干预措施。
