To investigate recall of advice and changes in lifestyle amongst smokers who attended 'Good Hearted Glasgow' screening sessions over three years ago.
Follow-up survey based on a postal questionnaire. Answers were compared with the information obtained by 'Good Hearted Glasgow' at the time of the screening session.
Two general practices in Glasgow.
266 smokers who had attended screening sessions at the two practices over three years ago.
Recall of the advice given; changes which the participants have made in relevant aspects of their lifestyle (smoking, alcohol intake, fat intake, weight loss) since the event; how helpful the participants perceived the advice given at the time to have been in encouraging smoking cessation.
The response rate was 53% (60% female, 42% male). In total, 94% recalled being advised to stop smoking, 77% have attempted to stop smoking and 11% have stopped smoking. Amongst those in the sample who were heavy drinkers at the time, 75% recall being advised to reduce their intake, 56% have attempted to do so and 36% have successfully done so. Amongst those with a raised blood cholesterol concentration, 52% recall it as being high, 68% recalled being advised to reduce their fat intake, 83% have attempted to do so and 53% claim to be on a low fat diet. Of those who were overweight, 68% recalled being advised to loss weight, 77% have attempted to do so and 36% have succeeded in doing so.
A high proportion of smokers who attended 'Good Hearted Glasgow' screening sessions have attempted to stop smoking three years on but only a small proportion have successfully done so. This compares unfavorably with claimed changes in alcohol intake, fat intake and weight loss.
调查三年多以前参加“好心格拉斯哥”筛查活动的吸烟者对所提建议的记忆情况以及生活方式的改变。
基于邮寄问卷的随访调查。将答案与“好心格拉斯哥”在筛查活动时获取的信息进行比较。
格拉斯哥的两家普通诊所。
三年多以前在这两家诊所参加过筛查活动的266名吸烟者。
对所提建议的记忆情况；自活动以来参与者在生活方式相关方面（吸烟、饮酒、脂肪摄入、体重减轻）所做的改变；参与者认为当时所提建议对鼓励戒烟有多大帮助。
回复率为53%（女性60%，男性42%）。总体而言，94%的人记得被建议戒烟，77%的人曾尝试戒烟，11%的人已成功戒烟。在当时样本中那些酗酒者中，75%的人记得被建议减少饮酒量，56%的人曾尝试这样做，36%的人已成功做到。在血液胆固醇浓度升高的人群中，52%的人记得自己胆固醇高，68%的人记得被建议减少脂肪摄入，83%的人曾尝试这样做，53%的人称自己采用了低脂饮食。在超重者中，68%的人记得被建议减肥，77%的人曾尝试这样做，36%的人已成功做到。
参加“好心格拉斯哥”筛查活动的吸烟者中，有很大比例的人在三年后曾尝试戒烟，但只有一小部分人成功戒烟。这与在饮酒量、脂肪摄入和体重减轻方面所宣称的改变相比情况不佳。
