Multicomponent smoking cessation programs help participants quit, with self-monitoring being the most effective strategy. Women experienced higher relapse rates, highlighting the need for tailored support in smoking cessation.

Area of Science:

  • Behavioral Science
  • Public Health
  • Addiction Medicine

Background:

  • Assesses long-term outcomes of a multicomponent group smoking cessation program.
  • Focuses on smoking status and participant satisfaction post-intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness and participant-perceived value of a comprehensive smoking cessation program.
  • To identify key components contributing to successful smoking cessation.

Main Methods:

  • Follow-up interviews conducted an average of 20 months post-program enrollment.
  • Achieved an 80% response rate (89/111 participants).
  • Assessed short-term (24-hour) and long-term (1-year) abstinence rates.

Main Results:

  • 82% achieved at least 24-hour abstinence; 25% maintained abstinence for over a year.
  • Women showed higher relapse rates compared to men by follow-up.
  • Self-monitoring was rated as the most helpful program component.

Conclusions:

  • Multicomponent programs equip individuals with diverse coping strategies for sustained smoking cessation.
  • Program effectiveness may vary by gender, suggesting a need for targeted interventions.
  • Overall program satisfaction was high, exceeding satisfaction with individual components.
