Dentists with tobacco cessation training perform more interventions, report increased self-efficacy, preparedness and fewer barriers than those without training. The aim of this study was to assess changes in knowledge, attitudes and behavior of dentists (CE group) at six months following presentation of a standardized tobacco cessation lecture module. These data were compared to those from age and gender-matched controls who did not receive training. The CE group was more likely to feel cessation was very important, score higher on knowledge questions, update tobacco use of continuing patients, ask former smokers about relapse and ask about daily consumption. The CE group was also more likely to discuss the personal relevance of quitting, roadblocks and setting quit dates, identify triggers, discuss pharmacotherapy and provide follow-up. These results suggest that group education appears to be a cost-efficient and effective method of teaching dentists about the latest methods of tobacco cessation.
接受过戒烟培训的牙医比未接受培训的牙医实施更多的干预措施，报告显示他们的自我效能感、准备情况有所提高，且障碍更少。本研究的目的是评估在呈现标准化戒烟讲座模块六个月后，牙医（继续教育组）在知识、态度和行为方面的变化。将这些数据与未接受培训的年龄和性别匹配的对照组的数据进行比较。继续教育组更有可能认为戒烟非常重要，在知识问题上得分更高，更新持续就诊患者的烟草使用情况，询问既往吸烟者是否复吸以及询问每日吸烟量。继续教育组也更有可能讨论戒烟的个人相关性、障碍和设定戒烟日期，识别触发因素，讨论药物治疗并提供随访。这些结果表明，团体教育似乎是一种具有成本效益且有效的方法，可用于教导牙医最新的戒烟方法。
