We investigated the association between the 5As (Ask, Advise, Assess, Assist, and Arrange) clinical protocol and stage of change among African American smokers who are eligible for low-dose computed tomography screening. In 2019, 60 African American daily smokers aged 55 years or older were recruited in a large hospital in New Orleans, Louisiana. Smokers who received assistance for smoking cessation were more likely to be in the preparation stage than those who did not receive any assistance. Assistance from health professionals is an essential form of support and may substantially enhance smokers' motivation to quit smoking in this population that is at higher risk for mortality from lung cancer.
我们研究了 5As(询问、建议、评估、协助和安排)临床方案与有资格接受低剂量计算机断层扫描筛查的非裔美国吸烟者的改变阶段之间的关系。2019 年,在路易斯安那州新奥尔良的一家大医院招募了 60 名年龄在 55 岁或以上的非裔美国每日吸烟者。与未接受任何帮助的吸烟者相比,接受戒烟帮助的吸烟者更有可能处于准备阶段。卫生专业人员的帮助是一种重要的支持形式,可能会极大地增强该人群戒烟的动机,因为该人群的肺癌死亡率更高。
