简介：准确评估戒烟尝试史对于制定戒烟人群估计值和增加我们对吸烟轨迹的理解非常重要。因此，本研究调查了过去一年中未能报告戒烟尝试的时间与戒烟尝试时间的函数关系。研究方法：本研究使用的数据来自吸烟工具包研究，这是一系列以人口为基础的调查，调查对象是英国16岁及以上的吸烟者和最近戒烟者。在基线时确定的11，772名吸烟者（占总样本的24.4%）中，这项研究重点关注了4234名参与者（占当前吸烟者的36.0%），他们在过去一年中报告了一到三次戒烟尝试。结果：有一个强烈的趋势，戒烟尝试，持续时间较短，未能报告。3个月后，90.1%的持续时间少于1天，63.7%的持续时间在1天至1周之间，38.9%的持续时间在1周至1个月之间。结论：很大一部分不成功的戒烟尝试没有被报告，特别是如果他们只持续了很短的时间或发生在很久以前。因此，基于回顾性数据的戒烟尝试人群估计值可能被大大低估，而戒烟尝试成功率的估计值可能被高估。未来的研究需要确定是否有不同的报告戒烟尝试的功能，如使用戒烟辅助工具的尝试。(C)2010爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Introduction: Accurately assessing quit attempt history is important to develop population estimates of cessation and to increase our understanding of smoking trajectories. Thus, the current study investigated failure to report quit attempts as a function of length of quit attempt by time since quit attempt over the past year. Methods: The present study used data from the Smoking Toolkit Study, a series of population-based surveys of smokers and recent ex-smokers in England aged 16 years and older. Among the 11,772 smokers identified at baseline (24.4% of the total sample), this study focused on the 4234 participants (36.0% of current smokers) who reported between one and three quit attempts in the past year. Results: There was a strong trend for quit attempts that lasted for shorter periods of time to fail to be reported. After three months, 90.1% of those lasting less than one day, 63.7% of those lasting between a day a one week, and 38.9% of those lasting between one week and one month failed to be reported. Conclusion:A large proportion of unsuccessful quit attempts fail to be reported, particularly if they only last a short time or occurred longer ago. Therefore, population estimates of quit attempts based on retrospective data may be considerable underestimates and estimates of the success of quit attempts may be overestimates. Future research is needed to establish whether there is differential reporting of quit attempts as a function of features of attempts such as use of cessation aids. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
