Mobile-phone-based smoking cessation intervention has been shown to increase quitting among smokers. However, such intervention has not yet been applied to secondhand smoke (SHS) reduction programs that target smoking parents of newborns. This randomized controlled trial, undertaken in Changchun, China, assessed whether interventions that incorporate traditional and mobile-phone-based education will help create smoke-free homes for infants and increase quitting among fathers. The results showed that the abstinence rates of the fathers at 6 months (adjusted OR: 3.60, 95% CI: 1.41-9.25; p = 0.008) and 12 months (adjusted OR: 2.93, 95% CI: 1.24-6.94; p = 0.014) were both significantly increased in the intervention group compared to the control. Mothers of the newborns in the intervention group also reported reduced exposure to SHS at 12 months (adjusted OR: 0.53, 95% CI: 0.29-0.99; p = 0.046). The findings suggest that adding mHealth interventions to traditional face-to-face health counseling may be an effective way to increase male smoking cessation and reduce mother and newborn SHS exposure in the home.
基于手机的戒烟干预措施已被证明可以增加吸烟者的戒烟率。然而，这种干预措施尚未应用于针对新生儿吸烟父母的减少二手烟（SHS）的项目。这项在中国长春进行的随机对照试验评估了整合传统和基于手机的教育的干预措施是否有助于为婴儿创造无烟家庭并增加父亲的戒烟率。结果表明，干预组的父亲在 6 个月（调整后的 OR：3.60，95%CI：1.41-9.25；p=0.008）和 12 个月（调整后的 OR：2.93，95%CI：1.24-6.94；p=0.014）的戒烟率均显著高于对照组。干预组新生儿的母亲在 12 个月时也报告 SHS 暴露减少（调整后的 OR：0.53，95%CI：0.29-0.99；p=0.046）。研究结果表明，将移动健康干预措施添加到传统的面对面健康咨询中可能是增加男性戒烟率和减少家庭中母亲和新生儿 SHS 暴露的有效方法。
