Co-worker social support in a worksite smoking control program.

J M Malott, R E Glasgow, H K O'Neill

    Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis
    |January 1, 1984

    Summary

    Adding partner support to a worksite smoking cessation program did not significantly improve outcomes. Both partner support and standard controlled smoking treatments effectively reduced smoking behaviors and carbon monoxide levels.

    Area of Science:

    • Behavioral Science
    • Public Health
    • Addiction Medicine

    Background:

    • Worksite smoking cessation programs are crucial for public health.
    • Social support is a recognized factor in behavior change.
    • Integrating social support into existing treatment models requires evaluation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the impact of adding partner support to a worksite controlled smoking treatment.
    • To determine if partner support enhances smoking reduction and cessation.
    • To compare outcomes between standard and partner-supported treatment conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • A randomized controlled trial with 24 participants was conducted.
    • Participants were assigned to controlled smoking or controlled smoking plus partner support.

  • A multiple baseline design tracked reductions in nicotine, cigarette consumption, and smoking intensity.

    • Main Results:

    • Both treatment conditions significantly reduced target smoking behaviors and carbon monoxide levels.
    • Long-term abstinence was maintained by those who quit during the program.
    • Few significant differences were found between the two treatment conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • Worksite smoking cessation programs are effective in reducing smoking.
    • Partner support did not demonstrate a significant added benefit in this study.
    • Further research is needed to identify optimal social support strategies for smoking cessation.
