We designed a patient-centered smoking cessation program for women in 2004/2005, incorporating women's preferences and expert opinion. Our four-step process included: (1) concept-development focus groups; (2) an expert panel; (3) concept-testing focus groups, and (4) a pilot study. Data analyses occurred in 2004-2007. The new program offered options: the traditional Veterans Health Administration (VA) male-dominated program was the least selected option in the pilot study. Patients can be effectively involved in program development. The study's implications and limitations are noted. This research (conducted in Los Angeles, California) was funded by the American Legacy Foundation with additional VA support.
我们在 2004/2005 年设计了一个以患者为中心的女性戒烟项目，融入了女性的偏好和专家意见。我们的四步流程包括：（1）概念发展焦点小组；（2）专家小组；（3）概念测试焦点小组，以及（4）试点研究。数据分析发生在 2004-2007 年。新计划提供了多种选择：传统的退伍军人健康管理局（VA）男性主导项目是试点研究中选择最少的选项。患者可以有效地参与项目的开发。研究的意义和局限性也已指出。这项研究（在加利福尼亚州洛杉矶进行）得到了美国遗产基金会的资助，并得到了退伍军人事务部的额外支持。
