This paper examines differences between joiners and nonjoiners of a voluntary smokers' registry.
A baseline prevalence survey was used to identify characteristics of smokers who joined or did not join a smokers' registry.
Communities varied significantly in registry enrollment rates. Heavy-smoking joiners expressed more desire to quit, were more likely to live with nonsmokers, and were older than nonjoiners. Light-to-moderate joiners smoked more, were more addicted to cigarettes, and expressed more desire to quit than nonjoiners.
Few baseline characteristics differentiated joiners from nonjoiners. Nonjoiners were significantly more likely to achieve cessation than joiners.
本文研究了自愿加入吸烟者登记系统者与未加入者之间的差异。
采用基线患病率调查来确定加入或未加入吸烟者登记系统的吸烟者的特征。
各社区在登记注册率方面差异显著。重度吸烟的加入者表达了更强的戒烟意愿，更有可能与不吸烟者生活在一起，且比未加入者年龄更大。轻度至中度吸烟的加入者比未加入者吸烟更多、对香烟更上瘾，且表达了更强的戒烟意愿。
很少有基线特征能够区分加入者和未加入者。未加入者比加入者更有可能戒烟。
