The present study examined the effectiveness of a community-based smoking contest in helping 500 smokers maintain three months postcontest and one year postcontest abstinence. The majority were chronic smokers with a limited number of previous quit attempts. The three- and 12-month postcontest quit rates were 19 per cent and 15 per cent, respectively, rates exceeding naturally occurring community cessation rates. The contest was found to be more cost-effective than quit smoking classes.
本研究考察了一项基于社区的戒烟竞赛在帮助500名吸烟者在竞赛后三个月及一年保持戒烟状态方面的有效性。大多数参与者为长期吸烟者,之前尝试戒烟的次数有限。竞赛后三个月和十二个月的戒烟率分别为19%和15%,这一比率超过了自然发生的社区戒烟率。结果发现,该竞赛比戒烟课程更具成本效益。
