The aim of the present study was to investigate the efficacy of a brief coping planning intervention to prevent smoking relapse in the context of a national smoking cessation contest ('Quit & Win').
A controlled trial with three measurements was used to evaluate the efficacy of the coping planning intervention.
Three on-line surveys were conducted among 1,566 participants in Quit & Win. Contest participants were alternately assigned to a control and planning group, the latter of which completed a planning intervention that included the formation of three coping plans on how to refrain from smoking in personal risk situations.
The coping planning intervention increased conservative 7-month continuous abstinence rates from 10.5 to 13.4%, indicating that, if implemented correctly, coping planning can significantly reduce long-term smoking relapse.
In addition to growing evidence for the efficacy of self-regulatory planning in the promotion of health behaviour, the results of the present study indicate that planning can also be effective in the prevention of unwanted behaviour. The results may stimulate research and application of coping planning in its current form.
本研究旨在调查在全国戒烟竞赛（“戒烟赢大奖”）背景下，一种简短应对计划干预措施预防吸烟复发的效果。
采用一项有三次测量的对照试验来评估应对计划干预的效果。
对“戒烟赢大奖”的1566名参与者进行了三次在线调查。竞赛参与者被交替分配到对照组和计划组，后者完成一项计划干预，其中包括制定三个关于在个人风险情境中如何戒烟的应对计划。
应对计划干预使保守的7个月持续戒烟率从10.5%提高到13.4%，这表明，如果正确实施，应对计划可显著降低长期吸烟复发率。
除了越来越多的证据表明自我调节计划在促进健康行为方面的有效性外，本研究结果表明计划在预防不良行为方面也可能有效。这些结果可能会推动当前形式的应对计划的研究和应用。
