This paper presents results from a preliminary short-term work-site intervention study aimed at smoking cessation. The 3-month intervention included consultation for employers on the adoption of a nonsmoking policy, training for nonsmokers to provide assistance to smokers attempting to quit, and cessation classes for smokers. Eight work sites from Bloomington, Minnesota were recruited to the study and randomly assigned to an intervention or comparison condition after a baseline survey of all employees. To assess the effect of the intervention, smokers were surveyed 1 and 6 months after the intervention was completed. At the 1-month follow-up, the overall quit rate in the intervention group was 12% compared to 5% in the control group (P < .05). At the 6-month follow-up, 12% of smokers in the intervention group reported quitting, compared to 9% in the control group (P < .05). Co-worker support for quitting was higher in the intervention group compared to the comparison group. Cessation was highest overall among smokers whose co-workers frequently asked them not to smoke and among those who worked with a high proportion of nonsmokers. These results indicate that a short-term, multifaceted smoking cessation program implemented in work sites can affect smoking cessation rates as well as the work-site norms about smoking.
本文介绍了一项旨在戒烟的短期工作场所初步干预研究的结果。为期3个月的干预措施包括就采用无烟政策向雇主提供咨询、对非吸烟者进行培训以协助试图戒烟的吸烟者，以及为吸烟者开设戒烟课程。从明尼苏达州布卢明顿市招募了8个工作场所参与该研究，并在对所有员工进行基线调查后将其随机分配到干预组或对照组。为评估干预效果，在干预结束后1个月和6个月对吸烟者进行了调查。在1个月的随访中，干预组的总体戒烟率为12%，而对照组为5%（P < .05）。在6个月的随访中，干预组12%的吸烟者报告戒烟，而对照组为9%（P < .05）。与对照组相比，干预组同事对戒烟的支持更高。在同事经常要求他们不要吸烟的吸烟者以及与高比例非吸烟者共事的吸烟者中，总体戒烟率最高。这些结果表明，在工作场所实施的短期、多方面的戒烟计划可以影响戒烟率以及工作场所关于吸烟的规范。
