To test the effect of a text-message and infographic to promote smokers quit smoking.
Methods: A randomized control trial was conducted in two provinces of northeast Thailand. Three hundred and ninety-six participants were allocated to either a text-message and infographic group or a control group. We assessed the primary outcome by self-reported 7-day point prevalence smoking abstinence. Multiple logistic regression was used to test the effect of quitting smoking.
Results: At 3-month follow-up, lost to follow-up 16 participants, 380 participants were included for analysis. The difference in the rate of quitting smoking between the intervention and control groups was not found a statistical significance (17.8% versus 11.6%). However, we found a statistically significant difference in the number of cigarettes smokes (the difference: -1.74; 95%CI: -2.63, -0.84).
Conclusion: No effect of text message and infographic for help smokers to quit smoking. However, the intervention showed a decrease in the number of cigarettes smoked.
为了测试文本信息和图表对促进吸烟者戒烟的效果。
方法:在泰国东北部的两个省进行了一项随机对照试验。将 396 名参与者分配到短信和图表组或对照组。我们通过自我报告的 7 天点吸烟率来评估主要结果。使用多因素逻辑回归来检验戒烟效果。
结果:在 3 个月的随访中,有 16 名参与者失访,共有 380 名参与者纳入分析。干预组和对照组的戒烟率差异无统计学意义(17.8%对 11.6%)。然而,我们发现吸烟量的差异有统计学意义(差值:-1.74;95%CI:-2.63,-0.84)。
结论:文本信息和图表对帮助吸烟者戒烟没有效果。然而,干预措施显示吸烟量减少。
