PERSONALIZED SELF HELP SMOKING CESSATION

描述：该第二阶段项目将在临床上测试个人 行动戒烟（PASS）计划，一个改进的版本， 第一阶段开发的个性化录音带项目。PASS程序使用 根据普罗查斯卡和迪克莱门特的 健康行为改变的跨理论模型（“改变阶段”）。 的 PASS程序使用Brimson实验室的专有录音 技术，旨在帮助成年吸烟者实现戒烟率 与临床医生辅助计划相当，并超过 一般的自助计划。 具体目标包括： 原型：音频脚本修订;定制的印刷讲义;程序 合规激励措施;以及基于电话的数据收集程序， 使用简单，经济，并允许对吸烟者的变化做出快速反应 需要;进行临床试验，随访12个月，比较PASS 科学验证的自助干预计划：美国肺 1993年，美国吸烟协会的《免于吸烟》;从三个关键方面获得经验 市场：1）门诊医疗保健网络（264例受试者）; 2）企业 组织环境（264名受试者）; 3）城市，经济 弱势和受教育程度低的吸烟者样本（120名受试者）; 评估提供额外积极干预的有效性 使用个性化的打印反馈;并实现点流行禁欲 在12个月的研究期内提高的比率。 拟议商业应用：不可用

DESCRIPTION: This Phase II project will clinically test the Personal Action to Stop Smoking (PASS) program, an improved version of a personalized audiotape program developed in Phase I. The PASS program uses personalized audiotapes based on Prochaska and DiClemente's Transtheoretical Model of health behavior change ("Stage of Change"). The PASS program uses Brimson Laboratories' proprietary audio recording technology, and is designed to help adult smokers achieve abstinence rates equivalent to clinician-assisted programs, and exceed those achieved by generic self-help programs. Specific aims include: enhance the Phase I prototype with: audio script revisions; tailored print handouts; program compliance incentives; and phone-based data collection procedures that are simple to use, economical, and allow rapid response to smokers' changing needs; conduct clinical trials with 12 month follow-up, comparing the PASS Program to scientifically validated self-help intervention: American Lung Association's Freedom From Smoking (1993); gain experience with three key markets: 1) outpatient health care networks (264 subjects); 2) corporate organizational settings (264 subjects); and 3) with an urban, economically disadvantaged and poorly educated sample of smokers (120 subjects); evaluate the effectiveness of providing additional aggressive intervention using personalized print feedback; and achieve point-prevalence abstinence rates that improve over the 12-month study period.
