Three-month effects of Project EX: A smoking intervention pilot program with Korean adolescents

Abstract: Despite current prevention and cessation efforts, adolescent smoking remains a pressing issue worldwide, including in Korea. The current study evaluates Project EX-Korea, a teen tobacco use cessation program, three months after baseline. The quasi-experimental trial intervention involved 160 smokers in 10th to 12th grade, 85 from the program condition schools and 75 from the control. At three-month follow-up, the intent-to-treat (ITT) quit rate in the program group (30.2%) was 3.6 times that of the rate in the… Show more

“…Based on control groups in previous studies, we anticipated that 5% of participants in the control group would also quit tobacco spontaneously. An effect size of.40 between the control group and the EX groups would correspond to an increase in cessation rates from 5% to 17%, which is consistent with previous EX trials (Chansatitporn et al, 2016;Espada et al, 2015Espada et al, , 2017Idrisov et al, 2013;Isralowitz et al, 2016;Sussman et al, 2001Sussman et al, , 2004Yu et al, 2019;Zheng et al, 2004). To achieve maximum diversity, we planned to recruit from 27 American Indian Education Centers (AIECs) and Urban Centers located throughout the state.…”

“…One strategy for developing effective and culturally resonant smoking cessation programs is to adapt existing evidence-based programs for varying cultural contexts. Project EX, an empirically validated teen commercial tobacco use cessation program, has been adapted to meet the needs of culturally diverse populations and has been implemented and evaluated in Thailand, Spain, Russia, Israel, the United States, Korea, and China (Chansatitporn et al, 2016;Espada et al, 2015Espada et al, , 2017Idrisov et al, 2013;Isralowitz et al, 2016;Sussman et al 2001Sussman et al , 2004Yu et al, 2019;Zheng et al, 2004). Activities are tailored to teens (e.g., through games, role play, "talk shows", alternative medicine activities [deep breathing, relaxation, meditation, yoga], and the use of visuals) to motivate teens to attempt to quit tobacco use, cope with withdrawal and negative moods, and seek other non-tobacco using activities.…”

“…School-based smoking prevention interventions, two of these journals are a follow-up of a school-based smoking prevention intervention conducted to determine the short-term and long-term benefits of the intervention on the knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of teenage students about smoking. Short-term gains received an evaluation after 3 months of intervention and long-term benefits after 6 months of intervention [15], [16]. Tobacco consumption in this review is not only by traditional methods but also tobacco consumption in other forms such as waterpipe tobacco smoking or shisha, SLT, and betel quid or betel [17], [18].…”

“…Although there were many studies examining smoking cessation among South Korean adolescents, none satisfied all the inclusion criteria. However, if the RCT on the Project EX group counseling program for South Korean adolescents conducted by Yu et al [ 23 ] had at least 6 months of follow-up, it would have been included in the analysis. It is noted that adequate research has not been conducted to identify the effectiveness of smoking cessation programs targeting adolescents in the South Korean context.…”
