Evaluation of an intervention for hospitalized African American smokers
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a smoking cessation intervention based on the transtheoretical model of change with a sample of low-income African American smokers admitted to an indigent-care hospital.
Methods: The intervention incorporated components shown to be effective in increasing cessation in other populations, tailored to a bedside counseling format with follow-up contact postdischarge.
Results: Intervention patients were significantly more likely to advance in stage than were control patients.
Conclusion: A hospital-offered bedside intervention offers promise in reaching underserved smokers with effective, though limited, cessation assistance.
