At two chest clinics 1206 cigarette smokers referred by their general practitioners for chest radiography only either were dealt with in the normal way or in addition were given a How to Stop Smoking booklet by the clinic receptionist or nurse. Follow up one year later showed that 3.2% of all patients had successfully given up smoking, older patients doing better than younger ones and men doing better than women. Overall 3.9% of the group receiving a booklet were successful compared with 2.7% of the controls (p = 0.14). At one clinic the groups were not well matched for age but at the other, where there was no such imbalance, there was a suggestion that the booklet group did better than the controls (6.5% v 2.7% success), although the difference did not achieve conventional statistical significance (p = 0.09). If this can be confirmed as a real effect then this cheap, simple strategy could easily be applied on a large scale.
在两家胸部诊所，1206名由全科医生转介来仅做胸部X光检查的吸烟者，要么按常规方式处理，要么由诊所接待员或护士额外给他们一本《如何戒烟》手册。一年后的随访显示，所有患者中有3.2%成功戒烟，老年患者比年轻患者戒烟情况更好，男性比女性戒烟情况更好。总体而言，收到手册的组中有3.9%戒烟成功，而对照组为2.7%（p = 0.14）。在一家诊所，两组在年龄上匹配不佳，但在另一家不存在这种不平衡的诊所，有迹象表明收到手册的组比对照组表现更好（戒烟成功率6.5%对2.7%），尽管差异未达到传统统计学显著性水平（p = 0.09）。如果这能被确认为真实效果，那么这种廉价、简单的策略很容易大规模应用。
