尽管年轻人中非日常吸烟的人数有所增加，但之前没有研究旨在开发和测试针对这一群体的干预措施。因此，我们旨在开发和测试针对非日常吸烟者的大学生在线干预的可行性、可接受性和潜在有效性。我们对31名非日常吸烟者进行了为期四周的在线干预的可行性和可接受性单臂试验。我们在基线(B)、治疗结束（EOT）和6周随访（FU）进行了评估。我们在10周的时间里保持了100%的留存率。谷歌Analytics的数据显示了积极的利用结果，71.0%的人对该计划感到满意。过去30天内不吸烟的人数有所增加（P < 0.001），吸烟从B减少到EOT和FU，尽管最近吸烟，但仍有更多的人报告戒烟。参与者对二手烟对他人的危害的认知也有所增加（P < 0.05）；然而，其他态度变量没有改变。因此，这种干预在大学年龄非日常吸烟者中证明了可行性、可接受性和潜在有效性。需要进一步的研究来了解非日常吸烟者如何定义戒烟，改进戒烟措施，并检查与该人群中吸烟相关的理论结构。
Despite increases in nondaily smoking among young adults, no prior research has aimed to develop and test an intervention targeting this group. Thus, we aimed to develop and test the feasibility, acceptability, and potential effectiveness of an online intervention targeting college student nondaily smokers. We conducted a one-arm feasibility and acceptability trial of a four-week online intervention with weekly contacts among 31 college student nondaily smokers. We conducted assessments at baseline (B), end of treatment (EOT), and six-week followup (FU). We maintained a 100% retention rate over the 10-week period. Google Analytics data indicated positive utilization results, and 71.0% were satisfied with the program. There were increases (P < .001) in the number of people refraining from smoking for the past 30 days and reducing their smoking from B to EOT and to FU, with additional individuals reporting being quit despite recent smoking. Participants also increased in their perceptions of how bothersome secondhand smoke is to others (P < .05); however, no other attitudinal variables were altered. Thus, this intervention demonstrated feasibility, acceptability, and potential effectiveness among college-aged nondaily smokers. Additional research is needed to understand how nondaily smokers define cessation, improve measures for cessation, and examine theoretical constructs related to smoking among this population.
