IMPLEMENTATION OF THE INTERACTIVE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM FOR TOBACCO CESSATION OF ADOLESCENTS:RANDOMIZED CONTROL STUDY

Abstract

This study evaluates the performance of the Project EX - tobacco use cessation program in Russian summer recreational camps. An eight-session clinic-based tobacco use cessation program for adolescents was tested in an experimental pilot trial that involved different youth that rotated through camps. We created two rotations of unique subject groups of smokers - experimental and control, receiving standard help. The total number of smokers was 164 smokers, 76 - program group, 88 - standard care control group. Evaluation involved an immediate pretest and posttest and a six-month telephone follow-up. At immediate posttest, Project EX was moderately well-received, significantly reduced future smoking expectation (46% reduction in EX Program Condition versus 8% in Control, p<.0001), decreased intention to not quit smoking (-5.2% in EX vs. +1.4% in Control, p<.05), and increased motivation to quit smoking (0.72 vs. -0.04, p<.0001). At the six-month follow-up, program subjects reported a higher intent-to-treat quit rate during the last 30 days (7.5% vs. 0.1%, p<.05). For the subjects who remained monthly smokers at the six-month follow-up, Project EX reduced subjects’ level of nicotine dependence (-0.53 vs. +0.15, p<.001). The results were quite promising for this program, which included motivation enhancement and coping skill. However, further research on teen tobacco use cessation programming in Russia with larger sample sizes, involving other locations of the country, and with stronger research designs is needed.
