摘要: Tailored communications are one of the most promising approaches to smoking cessation interventions for entire populations. Assessments based on Transtheoretical Model processed by computer-based expert systems that generate feedback reports tailored each individual accelerate their progress through stages change cessation. Seven studies reviewed range from a more traditional clinical trial trials populations smokers population designed multiple behaviours, including smoking. A series three was found produce long-term point prevalence abstinence rates within narrow 22 – 26% abstinence. This same even when two or other behaviours (e.g. diet and sun protection) were treated in population. These results future which health behaviour risk will be assessed not solely efficacy but impact. [Velicer WF, Prochaska JO, Redding CA. cessation: past successes directions.
