    Summary

    Social support did not improve worksite smoking cessation, but negative interactions hindered success. Relapse was significant in both basic and supported treatment groups.

    Area of Science:

    • Behavioral Science
    • Public Health
    • Addiction Research

    Background:

    • Previous worksite smoking programs explored social support's role.
    • Understanding social dynamics in smoking cessation is crucial for effective interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the efficacy of a basic smoking control program versus one with added significant other support.
    • To investigate the relationship between social interactions and smoking cessation outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • A 6-week, multiple-baseline design across behaviors was used.
    • Participants (n=29) reduced nicotine content, cigarette number, and smoking percentage.
    • Two conditions: basic treatment and basic treatment plus significant other support.

    Main Results:

    • Both conditions achieved similar abstinence and smoking reduction rates at posttest and 6-month follow-up.
    • Significant relapse occurred in both groups by the follow-up assessment.
    • Supportive social interactions did not correlate with outcomes; negative interactions inversely correlated with success.

    Conclusions:

    • Significant other support did not enhance smoking cessation in this worksite program.
    • Negative social interactions represent a barrier to smoking cessation success.
    • Future research should explore mitigating negative social influences in cessation programs.
