SCHEDULES: A PROGRAM FOR GRADUAL SMOKING CESSATION

描述：行为科学协会建议开发和评估时间表计划，这是一种自助戒烟干预措施，使用视频和工作簿来实施逐步戒烟计划。吸烟者更喜欢逐渐减少吸烟的方法，但单纯靠自己减少吸烟很少成功。然而，研究表明，计划逐步减少(SGR)是有效的，这是一种使用卷烟计划的系统逐步减少方法。时间表计划将为戒烟提供一个低成本、简单易用的SGR计划。在第一阶段，将开发该计划的原型，并在为期10周的50名受试者的可行性研究中进行评估。确定可行性的主要标准将是经过验证的戒烟率=20%，吸烟率在统计学上显著降低，呼出的空气中一氧化碳的排放量在统计学上显著降低。将评估整个治疗过程中吸烟率、戒烟尝试、戒烟症状、对吸烟时间表的遵守情况和计划满意度的变化数据。将对受试者的定量结果和定性反馈进行评估，以补充主要结果变量，并指导进一步的产品开发。在第二阶段，将在大规模试验中开发和评估第二代原型，并延长后续行动。

DESCRIPTION: Behavioral Science Associates proposes to develop and evaluate the Schedules program, a self-help smoking cessation intervention that employs a video and workbook to implement a gradual smoking cessation program. Smokers prefer gradual reduction methods, but are rarely successful simply cutting down on their own. However, research has shown that scheduled, gradual reduction (SGR) a systematic approach to gradual reduction that employs scheduling of cigarettes, is effective. The Schedules program will provide a low-cost, simple to use SGR program for smoking cessation. During Phase I, a prototype of the program will be developed and evaluated in a 10-week feasibility study with 50 subjects. The primary criteria for determining feasibility will be a validated abstinence rate of = 20%, statistically significant reductions in smoking rate and statistically significant reductions in expired air carbon monoxide. Data on changes in smoking rate throughout treatment, quit attempts, withdrawal symptoms, adherence to the smoking schedule, and program satisfaction will be evaluated. Quantitative results and qualitative feedback from subjects will be assessed to supplement the primary outcome variables and guide further product development. During Phase II, a second generation prototype will be developed and evaluated in a large-scale trial with extended follow-up.
