The present study evaluated two relapse-prevention interventions intended to help women smokers maintain the "quit status" mandated during Navy basic training. Women with any smoking experience before entering the Navy (N = 2,781) were assigned to either a control group or to one of two intervention groups (access to a telephone help line or receive a series of monthly mailings) after graduating from basic training. Smoking/quit rates at 3, 6, and 12 months after graduation were assessed with mailed surveys. Response rates to the surveys ranged from 39% to 52%. There were no phone or mail intervention effects: cessation rates for the three conditions at the 12-month follow-up were 43% for control, 45% for the mail intervention, and 41% for the phone intervention. Results suggest the need for more aggressive relapse-prevention efforts, although quit rates were higher than expected "spontaneous" quit rates, indicating an impact of the totally smoke-free recruit training environment.
