Abstract
Describes the use of grief support telephone counseling in self-help smoking cessation programs, focusing on rates & predictors of participation, & content of telephone counseling calls. Of the 150 smokers, 86% accepted at least 1 of 3 counselor calls; 66% accepted all 3 calls. Baseline characteristics associated with acceptance of calls included being female & greater average length of time to the first cigarette of the day. Acceptance did not differ significantly by stage of cessation. First calls with smokers who accepted all 3 calls were longer & were more likely to be with smokers who were willing to take a specific next action step. Overall, 12% reported having quit smoking by the third counseling call, with the highest quit rate (23%) among smokers who, at baseline, were planning to quit in the next month. Implications for large-scale interventions with smokers in health care & other organizations are discussed. 3 Tables, 1 Figure, 1 Appendix, 13 References. Adapted from the source document.
