“…Consistent with prior research, we found that being married predicted quitting ( Lee & Kahende, 2007 ;Murray et al, 1995 ;van Loon et al, 2005 ); however, in contrast to other researchers (e.g., Pisinger et al, 2005 ), we did not fi nd living with a smoker to be predictive of failure to quit. It is possible that this difference in fi ndings may be due to methodological differences.…”

“…According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, 2008) , the most important thing a person can do older age, higher socioeconomic status ( Honda, 2005 ;Hyland et al, 2004 ;Hymowitz et al, 1997 ), being White ( King, Poldenak, Bendel, Vilsaint, & Nahata, 2004 ;Lee & Kahende, 2007 ), and being married (Lee & Kahende;Murray, Johnston, Dolce, Lee, & O ' Hara, 1995 ;van Loon, Tijhuis, Surtees, & Ormel, 2005 ). Living with a nonsmoker has been shown to predict cessation success (e.g., Osler & Prescott, 1998 ), whereas living with a smoker predicts failure to quit ( Pisinger, Vestbo, Borch-Johnsen, & Jorgensen, 2005 ;Senore et al, 1998 ).…”

“…Various measures of social support have been identified as important contributors to both initial smoking cessation and maintenance of cessation up to one year post intervention [12,13] and were included in the present analyses. Specifically, the desire of a spouse or close friend for the participant to quit was examined.…”

Participant attrition and attendance at follow-up were examined in a multicenter, randomized, clinical trial. The Lung Health Study (LHS) enrolled a total of 5, 887 adults to examine the impact of smoking cessation coupled with the use of an inhaled bronchodilator on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Of the initial LHS 1 volunteers still living at the time of enrolment in LHS 3 (5,332), 4,457 (84%) attended the LHS 3 clinic visit, a follow-up session to determine current smoking status and lung function. The average period between the beginning of LHS 1 and baseline interview for LHS 3 was 11 years. In univariate analyses, attenders were older, more likely female, more likely to be married, smoked fewer cigarettes per day, and were more likely to have children who smoked at the start of LHS 1 than non-attenders. Attenders were also less likely to experience respiratory symptoms, such as cough, but had decreased baseline lung function compared with non-attenders. Volunteers recruited via mass mailing were more likely to attend the long-term follow-up visit. Those recruited by public site, worksite, or referral methods were less likely to attend. In multivariate models, age, gender, cigarettes smoked per day, married status, and whether participants' children smoked were identified as significant predictors of attendance versus non-attendance at LHS 3 using stepwise logistic regression. Treatment condition (smoking intervention or usual care) was not a significant predictor of attendance at LHS 3. Older females who smoked less heavily were most likely to participate. These findings may be applied to improve participant recruitment and retention in future clinical trials.

“…Having a nonsmoking spouse or partner is a strong predictor of initial quitting (Murray, Johnston, Dolce, et al 1995) and long-term cessation (Gourlay, Forbes, Marriner, et al 1994;Osler and Prescott 1998). Roski, Schmid, and Lando (1996) examined speci c behaviors by spouses and found that supportive behaviors were associated with more frequent attempts to quit, whereas fewer undermining behaviors predicted long-term cessation.…”

Maternal Substance Abuse and Infant Health: Policy Options across the Life Course

1999

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Maternal substance abuse is a significant contributor to infant morbidity and mortality. The setting of prenatal care has long been the focus of interventions and policies to prevent these adverse outcomes. However, substance abuse programs and policies that are designed for women who are not yet pregnant can have a significant impact upon this problem. Thus it is essential to view the female life course from a broader perspective in order to consider the full range of policy options for reducing the infant mortality and morbidity caused by maternal substance abuse. This framework also allows comparisons across and between substances and offers new directions for policy development.
