SMOKING CESSATION PROGRAM TESTING WITH CVD SUBJECTS

研究人员将继续监测或干预 吸烟的心血管疾病受试者。这次干预是一种 多组分计划侧重于实现戒烟行为。它是 以四种方式之一给予(集体干预、个人干预、 书面干预或不干预)；受试者被随机分配 给干预组。除了人口统计数据，其他重复的数据 衡量标准将包括：健康和吸烟史，社会地位 支持，人格测量，感知的健康风险程度，感知 干预措施的有效性以及发病率和死亡率。 受试者的戒烟行为将在三年内得到监测 自我报告将通过唾液硫氰酸盐水平进行验证。努力 将用于增加转介和招聘。很多次 对我们的干预者的要求已经超过了他们的可用时间 受试者不得不等待。预计在额外的帮助下，我们将 可弥补01年的科目赤字(-30)，并取得我们建议的 02年的样本量为120个。为了消除这个问题，我们正在 请求增加两个干预者职位。数据录入正在进行中 从受试者那里获得；这种情况将继续下去。努力还将是 今年开始进行初步分析和公开展示 调查结果。

The research staff will continue to either monitor or intervene with smoking cardiovascular disease subjects. The intervention is a multicomponent program focused on achieving quit smoking behavior. It is given in one of four ways (group intervention, individual intervention, written intervention, or no intervention); subjects are randomly assigned to intervention groups. In addition to demographic data, other repeated measures will include: Health and smoking histories, level of social support, personality measures, perceived degree of health risk, perceptions of effectiveness of intervention, and morbidity and mortality rates. Subjects quit smoking behavior will be monitored over a three year period and self reports will be validated with saliva thiocyanate levels. Efforts will be directed toward increased referrals and recruitment. Many times the demands for our interventionists have exceeded their time available and subjects have had to wait. It is anticipated that with additional help, we can make up the subject deficit (-30) for year 01 and obtain our proposed sample size of 120 for year 02. To eliminate this problem we are requesting 2 additional interventionist positions. Data entry is being made as available from subjects; this will continue. Efforts will also be made this year to begin preliminary analyses and public presentations of findings.
