“…The AI used in this study employed active treatment components of assessment, information, and individualized CO feedback, arguably a more stringent comparison. Assessment (Burke et al, 2003;Stotts et al, 2002) and self-monitoring of smoking behaviors (Abrams & Wilson, 1979;Foxx & Brown, 1979), as well as providing individuals with smoking information, supplying self-help materials concerning smoking behaviors, and asking questions about smoking behavior (Colby et al, 1998;Curry, Ludman, & McClure, 2003) may lead to reductions in smoking behavior. Thus, a two session MI intervention targeting smoking behavior among college students may not exceed the effects of nonspecific therapeutic factors, assessment, information, and feedback.…”

Journal of College Student PsychotherapyPublication details, including instructions for authors and subscription information:Motivational interviewing has shown some success as an intervention for college student cigarette smokers. We tested the efficacy and process of a two session motivational-interviewingbased smoking intervention compared to an assessment/information session. College student participants assigned to the motivational interviewing condition did not differ significantly from participants in the assessment/information condition on smoking outcome variables one month later. However, both groups reported significant decreases in self-reported smoking over time, suggesting that brief interventions for college student smoking can be efficacious. Consistent with theory, the motivational interviewing group reported a significant increase in self-efficacy over time and reported stronger perceptions of the therapeutic alliance after the first session compared to assessment/information participants.

“…This assumption is consistent with the finding that the efficacy and intensity of treatment programs tend to be positively related. For example, research on smoking cessation interventions—including self-help approaches—has illustrated the relationship between abstinence rates and program intensity, typically defined as contact time and number of sessions [4,39,40]. Williams et al [41] have coined the term program thickness to refer to the "collective intensity, duration, delivery agent, and intervention modality" of an intervention.…”

Defining Participant Exposure Measures in Web-Based Health Behavior Change Programs

et al. 2006

BackgroundPublished research on the use of Web-based behavior change programs is growing rapidly. One of the observations characterized as problematic in these studies is that participants often make relatively few website visits and spend only a brief time accessing the program. Properly structured websites permit the unobtrusive measurement of the ways in which participants access (are exposed to) program content. Research on participant exposure to Web-based programs is not merely of interest to technologists, but represents an important opportunity to better understand the broader theme of program engagement and to guide the development of more effective interventions.ObjectivesThe current paper seeks to provide working definitions and describe initial patterns of various measures of participant exposure to ChewFree.com, a large randomized controlled trial of a Web-based program for smokeless tobacco cessation.MethodsWe examined measures of participant exposure to either an Enhanced condition Web-based program (interactive, tailored, and rich-media program) or a Basic condition control website (static, text-based material). Specific measures focused on email prompting, participant visits (number, duration, and pattern of use over time), and Web page viewing (number of views, types of pages viewed, and Web forum postings).ResultsParticipants in the ChewFree.com Enhanced condition made more visits and spent more time accessing their assigned website than did participants assigned to the Basic condition website. In addition, exposure data demonstrated that Basic condition users thoroughly accessed program content, indicating that the condition provided a meaningful, face-valid control to the Enhanced condition.ConclusionsWe recommend that researchers conducting evaluations of Web-based interventions consider the collection and analysis of exposure measures in the broader context of program engagement in order to assess whether participants obtain sufficient exposure to relevant program content.

“…The same pattern is suggested by the results of the relatively few SLT cessation intervention studies. Yet minimal-contact, low-intensity self-help interventions offer the promise of producing a substantial impact on public health because they can reach a large percentage of the target population of tobacco users (Curry, Ludman, & McClure, 2003;Glasgow, Vogt, & Boles, 1999;Lichtenstein, 2002).…”

This paper presents long-term outcomes of the largest clinical trial of smokeless tobacco (SLT) cessation reported to date. SLT users in five northwestern states were recruited to call a toll-free number, and 1,069 users were randomized to one of two self-help conditions: either a manual-only condition or an assisted self-help condition, which included the manual, a targeted video, and two support phone calls. Significant between-group differences were not found for either the 12- or 18-month point-prevalence measure of abstinence from either SLT only or all tobacco products using outcomes based on either the responder or intention-to-treat outcomes. However, using a repeated point-prevalence measure across all three assessment points, we found that significantly more assisted self-help participants reported abstinence, compared with manual-only participants. Compared with manual-only participants, those in the assisted self-help condition were significantly more likely to use recommended cessation techniques. Results demonstrate that low-cost, minimal interventions delivered by mail and phone can help a sizable proportion of individuals quit using SLT.
