“…Initiating smoking cessation programs on an inpatient basis capitalizes on a window of opportunity because (a) many patients are not allowed to smoke in the hospital and, therefore, have already begun to withdraw from cigarettes; (b) patients are removed from their typical daily cues to smoke; (c) illness itself motivates many people to stop; and (d) smokers can be efficiently identified and encouraged to quit, and an intervention begun if appropriate. Although the vast majority of smokers indicate that they would like to quit smoking (Schwartz, 1992), few seek out programs even when referred by their doctor (Thompson et al, 1988). By bringing a program to a patient's bedside in the hospital, a large number of smokers who may not otherwise seek out treatment can be reached.…”

This study extends the results of a large randomized clinical trial of a multicomponent in-hospital smoking cessation intervention for general hospitalized smokers by examining subgroups of patients who responded to the intervention. The results, obtained using signal detection analysis, produced 6 subgroups of patients with varying degrees of intervention responsiveness. The subgroup most responsive was marked by 100% confidence to quit smoking at baseline. Among patients with less than 100% confidence, confidence interacted with age, depressed mood scores, addiction scores, and alcohol intake to discriminate 5 additional subgroups. Discussion focuses on how this information can be used in clinical decision making to treat subpopulations of smokers and directs attention to possible areas of underlying biopsychosocial processes that may interact to affect successful long-term cessation.

“…Intensive psychological treatments for smoking cessation are often assumed to be less cost-effective than more minimal public-health oriented approaches (Schwartz, 1992). Because cost-effectiveness should be considered in formulating public health policy and mounting dissemination efforts, AHCPR commissioned a separate project to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the recommended interventions.…”

Smoking is the leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality in the United States, and the health benefits of quitting smoking are substantial. Nevertheless, over 25% of American adults (48 million individuals) continue to smoke, and the vast majority of quit attempts are unsuccessful. The Agency for Health Care Policy and Research recently addressed the smoking problem by conducting a 2-year research project that was published as the Smoking Cessation Clinical Practice Guideline (Fiore et al., 1996). This article reviews methods, analyses, and results from the Guideline project, and highlights major Guideline recommendations. Guideline findings and recommendations are discussed with respect to their implications for psychology.

“…For the general population, traditional interventions in smoking cessation have achieved a wide range of quit rates (Schwartz, 1991). Group intervention models (i.e., American Lung Association [ALA]; Freedom from Smoking Program) have achieved quit rates ranging from 14% (Windsor, Cutter, Morris, et al, 1985) to 18% (Davis, Faust, & Ordentlich 1984).…”
