The Tripler Tobacco-Cessation Program: predictors for success and improved efficacy.

Abstract:

:This study analyzed differences in baseline, course of treatment, and post-quit variables of participants in a tobacco-cessation program to identify factors predictive of outcome that could be used as a focus for intervention. The program offered a 10-week course of transdermal nicotine replacement combined with education and cognitive/behavioral therapy in a group format at a major military medical center. Demonstrated differences were found among abstainers, early relapsers, and late relapsers in age-initiated tobacco use, use of liquor, levels of exhaled carbon monoxide at intake, tobacco use during the program, and perceived reasons for relapse. The abstinence rate at follow-up was 27%. Based on our findings, we discuss recommendations to improve treatment. This information is offered as a model to evaluate and improve the efficacy of established clinic-based tobacco-cessation programs.
