Quit and Win is an international biannual smoking cessation contest. Although more than 70 countries participate, few are from the Eastern Mediterranean Region. This study evaluated 4 Quit and Win campaigns in Isfahan province, Islamic Republic of Iran, from 1998 to 2004, documenting participation rates, self-reported 1-month and 1-year abstinence rates and related factors. Participation rates among smokers ranged from 0.7%-2.4% of the smokers in Isfahan. One-month quit rates varied from 41.8% in 1998 to 92.8% in 2004. At 1-year follow-up, self-reported quit rates varied from 22.5% in 1998 to 91.2% in 2004. This model was found to be feasible and successful in our community, and can be implemented in other low- and middle-income countries.
“戒烟赢”是一项每两年举办一次的国际戒烟竞赛。尽管有70多个国家参与，但来自东地中海区域的国家很少。本研究评估了1998年至2004年在伊朗伊斯兰共和国伊斯法罕省开展的4次“戒烟赢”活动，记录了参与率、自我报告的1个月和1年戒烟率及相关因素。伊斯法罕吸烟者的参与率在吸烟者总数的0.7%至2.4%之间。1个月戒烟率从1998年的41.8%到2004年的92.8%不等。在1年随访时，自我报告的戒烟率从1998年的22.5%到2004年的91.2%不等。该模式在我们的社区被证明是可行且成功的，并且可以在其他低收入和中等收入国家实施。
