本研究旨在测试口腔保健办公室环境中无烟烟草（ST）干预的有效性。在诊所候诊室通过问卷调查确定了总共518名男性ST使用者，然后随机分配到常规护理对照组或特殊干预组。牙科医生在提供干预措施方面发挥了主要作用，其中包括特别关注口腔病变的软组织检查，戒烟建议，自助材料的分发，关于为什么和如何停止使用无烟烟草的简短视频，以及鼓励设定戒烟日期。门诊访视后3个月进行的随访评估显示，干预组患者停用ST的比例显著更高（干预组参与者的32%与对照组患者的21%，kappa 2 = 8.03，p <0.01）。详细描述了干预方案，以便牙科医生可以将其应用于实践。
This study was designed to test the effectiveness of a smokeless tobacco (ST) intervention delivered in the oral healthcare office setting. A total of 518 male ST users were identified by questionnaire in clinic waiting rooms and then randomly assigned to either a usual-care control group or a special intervention group. Dental hygienists took the primary role in delivering the intervention, which consisted of a soft-tissue examination with special attention to oral lesions, advice to quit ST, distribution of self-help materials, a short video on why and how to stop using smokeless tobacco, and encouragement to set a quit date. Follow-up assessments conducted three months after the office visit showed that a significantly greater proportion of intervention group patients had stopped using ST (32% of the intervention group participants versus 21% of control group patients, kappa 2 = 8.03, p less than .01). The intervention protocol is described in detail so that dental hygienists may adapt it for use in their practice.
