BACKGROUND
Little is known about the demand for smoking cessation services in settings with high smoking prevalence rates. Furthermore, acceptability of text messaging and Internet as delivery mechanisms for smoking cessation programs in non-developed countries is under-reported. Given the cost effectiveness of technology-based programs, these may be more feasible to roll out in settings with limited public health resources relative to in-person programs.
FINDINGS
148 adult smokers took part in a community-based survey in Ankara, Turkey. Two in five (43%) respondents reported typically smoking their first cigarette within 30 minutes of waking. Many participants expressed a desire to quit smoking: 27% reported seriously thinking about quitting in the next 30 days; 53% reported at least one quit attempt in the past year. Two in five smokers wanting to quit reported they were somewhat or extremely like to try a smoking cessation program if it were accessible via text messaging (45%) or online (43%).
CONCLUSIONS
Opportunities for low-cost, high-reach, technology-based smoking cessation programs are under-utilized. Findings support the development and testing of these types of interventions for adult smokers in Turkey.
背景
在吸烟率高的环境中，人们对戒烟服务的需求了解甚少。此外，在非发达国家，短信和互联网作为戒烟项目的传播机制的可接受性报道不足。鉴于基于技术的项目具有成本效益，相对于面对面项目而言，在公共卫生资源有限的环境中推出这些项目可能更可行。
研究结果
148名成年吸烟者参与了在土耳其安卡拉进行的一项社区调查。五分之二（43%）的受访者表示通常在醒来后30分钟内吸第一支烟。许多参与者表达了戒烟的愿望：27%的人表示在未来30天内认真考虑戒烟；53%的人表示在过去一年中至少尝试过一次戒烟。五分之二想要戒烟的吸烟者表示，如果可以通过短信（45%）或在线（43%）获得戒烟项目，他们有点或非常愿意尝试。
结论
低成本、高覆盖范围的基于技术的戒烟项目的机会未得到充分利用。研究结果支持在土耳其针对成年吸烟者开展此类干预措施的开发和测试。
