The variation between studies in the percentage increase in cost-effectiveness ratios is huge. This means that not following guidelines when calculating cost-effectiveness ratios can result in large errors. Despite the fact that the standardized cost-effectiveness ratios of smoking interventions were higher than the unstandardized cost-effectiveness ratios, interventions aimed at reducing the prevalence of smoking are cost-effective.

“…If the media persevere with their information on a subject, they can keep the gaps constant or even narrow them. Positive lifestyle changes among TV viewers have also been reported in several studies (FpmneM & Sagaard, 1990;Korhonen et al, 1992;Pierce, Macaskill, & Hill, 1990;Puska et al, 1987). Others are more skeptical about the media's effect on behavior changes in connection with health information campaigns (Gantz, Fitzmaurice, & Yoo, 1990;Garland, 1984;Kristiansen & Harding, 1984;"Research Unit," 1989).…”

Results-North Karelia's participation rates were significantly higher in each campaign compared with the rest of Finland. The abstinence rates in North Karelia were also higher, the diVerence being significant in 1986 and 1994 (p<0.05). In the target population in 1996 over 75% of smokers in North Karelia, compared with 40% of smokers surveyed elsewhere, reported awareness of the campaign (p<0.001). Approximately 9% of the smokers in North Karelia and 6% elsewhere intended to participate (p = NS). Over 2% in North Karelia, compared with less than 1% elsewhere, tried to quit (p<0.001). Among the targeted group, 0.3% of North Karelian smokers were complete abstainers throughout the 12 months of follow up, compared with an average of 0.1% in other areas (p<0.001). Conclusions-The Quit and Win campaign is a feasible cessation method in long-term community-wide programmes. Intensified community activities are associated with higher success. In repeat campaigns, high participation and abstinence rates can be maintained. (Tobacco Control 1999;8:175-181)
