This study describes the establishment, promotion, and preliminary findings of a peer-led smoking cessation quitline for Chinese youth smokers in Hong Kong. The Youth Quitline targeted Chinese smokers aged 12 to 25, who smoked at least one cigarette in the past 30 days and were willing to leave telephone numbers for follow up. The protocol was translated from the California Smoker's Helpline and we provided toll-free telephone counseling based on motivational intervention with multiple follow-up sessions for smokers who called the service. By intention-to-treat analysis, 55% reported at least one quit attempt, and the quit rate was 22.1% (self-reported 7-day point prevalence) or 17.5% (self-reported 30-day point prevalence). The Hong Kong Youth Quitline, along with enforcement of the antismoking legislation for both youth and adults, advocacy to de-normalize smoking in the society, and appropriate publicity, could help to promote quitting among youth smokers in Hong Kong.
本研究描述了香港为中国青少年吸烟者设立的同伴主导戒烟热线的建立、推广及初步结果。青少年戒烟热线的目标人群是年龄在12至25岁之间的中国吸烟者，他们在过去30天内至少吸过一支烟，且愿意留下电话号码以便后续跟进。该方案是从加利福尼亚吸烟者帮助热线翻译而来的，我们为拨打该服务热线的吸烟者提供基于动机干预的免费电话咨询，并进行多次跟进。通过意向性分析，55%的人报告至少有一次戒烟尝试，戒烟率为22.1%（自我报告的7天时间点患病率）或17.5%（自我报告的30天时间点患病率）。香港青少年戒烟热线，连同针对青少年和成年人的反吸烟立法的实施、倡导社会对吸烟去常态化以及适当的宣传，有助于促进香港青少年吸烟者戒烟。
