A personalised, smoking cessation message was successfully delivered in Australian community pharmacies to motivate behavioural change in young smoking adults.
The purpose of this pilot study was to test the acceptability and effectiveness of the innovative, proven smoking cessation intervention to another population of young adults with a higher prevalence of smoking and associated morbidities.
Ninety eight university students in Paris, France were recruited to a pilot study (50 intervention: 48 control). All students received smoking cessation counselling sessions and half also received a visual demonstration of themselves, both as a lifelong smoker and non-smoker.
There was no statistical significant difference between the groups in smoking dependence at recruitment. At the three month follow-up, the proportion who had attempted to quit smoking were 37% (control) vs 46% (intervention). These percentages suggested a positive result for the intervention, although the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.39).
This is one of the first studies conducted in France using visual demonstrations combined with healthcare counselling to promote smoking cessation amongst young adult smokers. Further research, recruiting from the general French public, is needed to better understand if the innovative personalised health message can motivate young French adult smokers to quit.
在澳大利亚社区药房中成功传递了个性化的戒烟信息,以激励年轻吸烟成年人改变行为。
本试点研究的目的是测试经过验证的创新戒烟干预措施对另一群年轻成年人的可接受性和有效性,这些成年人吸烟更为普遍,且存在与吸烟相关的多种疾病。
在法国巴黎,招募了 98 名大学生参加一项试点研究(50 名干预组:48 名对照组)。所有学生都接受了戒烟咨询,但其中一半学生还接受了自己作为终身吸烟者和非吸烟者的视觉演示。
在招募时,两组在吸烟依赖程度上没有统计学上的显著差异。在三个月的随访中,尝试戒烟的比例为 37%(对照组)与 46%(干预组)。这些百分比表明干预措施有积极的效果,尽管差异没有统计学意义(p=0.39)。
这是法国进行的首批使用视觉演示结合医疗保健咨询以促进年轻成年吸烟者戒烟的研究之一。需要进一步的研究,招募来自法国公众,以更好地了解创新的个性化健康信息是否可以激励年轻的法国成年吸烟者戒烟。
