Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Behavioral Science
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • Smoking cessation interventions are crucial for public health.
  • The role of partner support as an adjunct to these programs requires investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if interventions enhancing partner support improve smoking cessation rates.
  • To analyze the impact of partner support on smoking abstinence.

Main Methods:

  • A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted.
  • Included trials focused on smoking cessation with a partner support component and at least 6-month follow-up.
  • Outcomes included self-reported and biochemically validated abstinence rates.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Nine studies met the inclusion criteria, with varied definitions of partner.
  • Self-reported abstinence rates showed no significant increase overall.
  • Sensitivity analyses indicated higher odds of success with live-in, married partners, and when partner support significantly increased.

Conclusions:

  • Interventions to enhance partner support are most effective with live-in, married, or equivalent partners.
  • Focusing on supportive behaviors and minimizing criticism is recommended for clinical practice.
