A pilot study was conducted to determine whether the caregivers of children being seen at the Ochsner for Children health center were eligible for and using services provided by the Smoking Cessation Trust (SCT).
The study population consisted of pediatric patients' caregivers who visit the Ochsner for Children health center. Caregivers were offered a questionnaire to assess their age, sex, relationship to the child, medical insurance, smoking status, and prior cessation attempts and aids. Data about 3 other caregivers were also requested from the visiting caregiver.
Of the 84 caregivers assessed, 26 (30.95%) smoked, of whom 12 (46.15%) began smoking prior to 1988 and were eligible for SCT services. The cohort of eligible caregivers included 4 grandmothers (33.33%), 2 grandfathers (16.67%), and 3 fathers (25.00%). Smoking prevalence in our cohort was higher than the national average (31% vs 18%). During the previous 12 months, 3 of 12 (25.00%) SCT-eligible caregivers had tried to quit smoking. Four (33.33%) SCT-eligible caregivers were interested in smoking cessation.
Pediatricians are in a unique position to screen, counsel, and refer caregivers who smoke to the SCT.
开展了一项试点研究，以确定在奥施纳儿童健康中心就诊儿童的看护者是否符合戒烟信托基金（SCT）提供的服务资格并使用这些服务。
研究人群包括到奥施纳儿童健康中心就诊的儿科患者的看护者。向看护者发放问卷，以评估他们的年龄、性别、与孩子的关系、医疗保险、吸烟状况、既往戒烟尝试及辅助手段。还向来访的看护者询问另外3名看护者的相关数据。
在评估的84名看护者中，26名（30.95%）吸烟，其中12名（46.15%）在1988年之前开始吸烟，符合SCT服务资格。符合条件的看护者队列包括4名祖母（33.33%）、2名祖父（16.67%）和3名父亲（25.00%）。我们队列中的吸烟率高于全国平均水平（31%对18%）。在过去12个月中，12名符合SCT资格的看护者中有3名（25.00%）曾尝试戒烟。4名（33.33%）符合SCT资格的看护者对戒烟感兴趣。
儿科医生在筛查、咨询吸烟的看护者并将其转介至SCT方面具有独特地位。
