To conduct and evaluate Quit & Win contests at 2 2-year college and 2 4-year university campuses.
During Spring semester, 2006, undergraduates (N = 588) interested in quitting smoking signed up for a Quit & Win 30-day cessation contest for a chance to win a lottery prize.
Participants (N = 588) completed a baseline survey, provided a urine sample to verify smoking status before joining the contest, and completed a follow-up survey at contest end to assess abstinence. Participants reporting continuous 30-day abstinence were surveyed again 2 weeks post contest to assess relapse.
Participants smoked an average of 9.8 +/- 6.7 cigarettes/day on 26.7 +/- 5.7 days/month. Among participants completing a follow-up survey (74%), 72.1% reported abstinence during the entire contest period (Intent-to-Treat Analysis = 53.2%). 55.3% of those abstinent at the end of contest had resumed smoking 2 weeks post contest.
Campus Quit & Win contests appear feasible, acceptable, and effective at facilitating short-term abstinence. Further research is needed to identify strategies to prevent postcontest relapse.
在两所两年制学院和两所四年制大学校园内开展并评估“戒烟赢奖”比赛。
在 2006 年春季学期,对戒烟感兴趣的本科生(N=588)报名参加“戒烟赢奖”30 天戒烟比赛,有机会赢得彩票奖品。
参与者(N=588)完成基线调查,在参加比赛前提供尿液样本以验证吸烟状况,并在比赛结束时完成随访调查以评估戒烟情况。报告连续 30 天戒烟的参与者在比赛结束后两周再次接受调查以评估复吸情况。
参与者平均每天吸烟 9.8 +/- 6.7 支,每月吸烟 26.7 +/- 5.7 天。在完成随访调查的参与者中(74%),72.1%报告在整个比赛期间戒烟(意向治疗分析=53.2%)。在比赛结束时戒烟的人中,有 55.3%在比赛结束后两周内恢复吸烟。
校园“戒烟赢奖”比赛似乎可行、可接受且能有效促进短期戒烟。需要进一步研究以确定预防比赛后复吸的策略。
