Partner support interventions do not improve smoking cessation rates. More systematic approaches are needed to significantly impact partnership within cessation programs for long-term abstinence.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Behavioral Science
  • Addiction Medicine

Background:

  • Smoking cessation programs exist, but long-term abstinence remains a challenge.
  • Partner involvement in cessation programs may enhance success.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review evidence on interventions enhancing partner support for smoking cessation.
  • To determine if added partner support improves quit rates in cessation programs.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with follow-up ≥ 6 months.
  • Searched multiple databases (e.g., Cochrane, MEDLINE) using terms related to smoking cessation and partner support.
  • Extracted data on self-reported and biochemically validated abstinence rates; analyzed using a fixed-effects model.

Main Results:

  • Nine studies met inclusion criteria; definitions of partner support varied.
  • Self-reported abstinence rates showed no significant increase (OR 1.08 at 6-9 months, OR 1.0 at >12 months).
  • Limited evidence suggested partner support interventions did not consistently increase partner support.

Conclusions:

  • Interventions to enhance partner support did not improve smoking cessation rates.
  • Limited data suggest these interventions may not significantly increase partner support.
  • Further research with systematic interventions is needed to clarify the role of partner support in smoking cessation.
