介绍和目标。戒烟教练（http：www.quitcoach.org.au）是一个量身定制的，互联网提供的戒烟建议计划。本文比较了QuitCoach用户与吸烟者一般，并与来电者的电话戒烟服务（维多利亚戒烟热线）。它还探讨了QuitCoach使用模式的一年中的时间和一周中的一天。设计和方法。数据来自2003年至2007年期间收集的QuitCoach在线评估（n = 28247）。比较数据来自维多利亚州戒烟热线服务、前五波国际烟草控制四国调查、2004-05年全国健康调查和澳大利亚反吸烟目标受众评分。结果QuitCoach使用者更可能是女性，比一般吸烟者和Quitline使用者更年轻。他们对尼古丁的依赖程度是中等的。QuitCoach用户比Quitline呼叫者更不可能刚刚退出。一半的QuitCoach用户在设定退出日期后首次使用。使用率与反吸烟广告和一周中的某一天有关，在一周的早些时候最高。讨论和结论。QuitCoach成功地瞄准了中度成瘾者。使用对反吸烟运动很敏感。有必要进一步推广戒烟教练，将其作为一种资源，有能力满足那些已经戒烟的人和那些仍然不确定是否要尝试戒烟的人的需求。[Balmford J，Borland R，Li L，Ferretter I.使用互联网戒烟资源：澳大利亚戒烟教练。药物酒精Rev 2009; 28：66-72]
Introduction and Aims. The QuitCoach (http://www.quitcoach.org.au) is a tailored, Internet-delivered smoking cessation advice program. This paper compares QuitCoach users both with smokers in general, and with callers to a telephone-based smoking cessation service (the Victorian Quitline). It also explores patterns of QuitCoach usage by time of year and day of the week. Design and Methods. Data are from responses to the QuitCoach online assessment collected between 2003 and 2007 (n = 28 247). Comparison data are from the Victorian Quitline service, from the first five waves of the International Tobacco Control Four Country Survey, the 2004-05 National Health Survey, and from anti-smoking Target Audience Rating Points for Australia. Results. QuitCoach users were more likely to be female and younger than both smokers in general and Quitline users. They were intermediate in nicotine dependence. QuitCoach users are less likely to have just quit than Quitline callers. Half of QuitCoach users first use after setting a quit date. Usage is related to anti-smoking advertising and to day of week, being highest earlier in the week. Discussion and Conclusions. The QuitCoach successfully targets the moderately addicted. Use is sensitive to anti-smoking campaigns. There is a need for greater promotion of the QuitCoach as a resource with the capacity to meet the needs of those already quit and those still uncertain as to whether to try.
