To identify perspectives on smoking cessation programs in Appalachian Kentucky, a region with particularly high smoking rates and poor health outcomes.
Insufficient existing research led us to conduct 12 focus groups (smokers and nonsmokers) and 23 key informant interviews.
Several findings previously not described in this high-risk population include (1) transition from pro-tobacco culture toward advocacy for tobacco cessation approaches, (2) region-specific challenges to program access, and (3) strong and diverse social influences on cessation.
To capitalize on changes from resistance to support for smoking cessation, leaders should incorporate culturally appropriate programs and characteristics identified here.
确定肯塔基州阿巴拉契亚地区对戒烟项目的看法,该地区吸烟率特别高且健康状况不佳。
由于现有研究不足,我们开展了12个焦点小组(吸烟者和非吸烟者)和23次关键 informant 访谈。
此前在这一高风险人群中未描述的若干发现包括:(1)从亲烟草文化向倡导戒烟方法的转变;(2)项目获取方面的地区特定挑战;(3)对戒烟的强大且多样的社会影响。
为利用从抵制到支持戒烟的转变,领导者应纳入这里确定的符合文化背景的项目和特征。
