“…Bivariate logistic regression models were used to examine the relationship between respondent demographics (gender, age, race/ethnicity, education, and household income), CPD, and the receipt of past-year smoking cessation advice for smokers who had seen a physician in the last year for each survey administration. The inclusion of these demographic and smoking-related variables in our analyses was determined from the results of several studies examining the correlates of physician-delivered advice (Doescher & Saver, 2000;Gilpin et al, 1992;Gilpin, Pierce, Johnson, & Bal, 1993) that showed significant associations between advice and these predictor variables. Predictor variables associated (p,.10) with physician-delivered advice were entered simultaneously in multiple logistic regression models for each TUS survey administration (Hosmer & Lemeshow, 1996).…”

We examined the rate of physician-delivered smoking cessation advice in the United States over time for five different racial/ethnic groups. We analyzed three waves (1992--1993, 1995--1996, 1998--1999) of population-based survey data (Tobacco Use Supplement of the Current Population Survey) to examine the relationship between a smoker's race/ethnicity and past-year receipt of physician-delivered smoking cessation advice. Results of a multivariate logistic regression showed no difference in the receipt of advice as a function of a smoker's race/ethnicity in any of the surveys, with the exception of 1998--1999, after controlling for factors such as smoker's gender, years of education, household income, and cigarettes smoked per day. In the 1998--1999 survey, Asian smokers were more likely to report receiving smoking cessation advice from a physician relative to non-Hispanic White smokers. With the exception of American Indian/Alaska Native smokers, the receipt of advice by each racial/ethnic group increased significantly from the 1992--1993 survey to the 1998--1999 survey, after controlling for gender, age, education, and cigarettes smoked per day. Because rates of advice for American Indian/Alaska Native smokers did not increase over time, specific public health interventions should be developed and integrated into medical settings serving smokers from American Indian/Alaska Native communities.

“…In the case of physicians, the answer appears to be "No." Several studies have indicated that most physicians fail to counsel their patients to stop smoking (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1993;Gilpin et al, 1992;Thorndike, Rigotti, Stafford, & Singer, 1998). However, the rate at which physicians advise patients who smoke to stop has increased substantially over the past several years (Gilpin et al, 1992).…”

However, the rate at which physicians advise patients who smoke to stop has increased substantially over the past several years (Gilpin et al, 1992). This increase occurred between the mid-1970s and the late 1980s: in 1974, 26.4% of smokers reported being advised to quit, in comparison to 1987, during which 50.9% of smokers reported being advised to quit.…”

Tobacco intervention practices of licensed psychologists

Tobacco dependence is a serious public health concern. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has issued a practice guideline of best practices to encourage all health care providers to intervene with tobacco-dependent individuals they encounter. Psychologists may be ideally suited to implement brief tobacco interventions due to their expertise in behavior change strategies and interpersonal counseling skills. This study sought to investigate current tobacco assessment and intervention practices and perceptions of responsibility for tobacco intervention among a regional sample of licensed, practicing psychologists. Results suggest that a majority of psychologists fall far short of the ideal best practices recommended in the practice guideline, and many are unaware of the availability of the guidelines. Further, psychologists in this study perceived tobacco intervention to be a greater responsibility of physicians and other health care providers than of psychologists and other mental health professionals.

Physicians and other health care providers are not meeting the standards of smoking intervention outlined by the National Cancer Institute and the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research. Health care providers who intervene only with those patients who are ready to quit smoking are missing opportunities to provide effective smoking interventions to the majority of their patients. Interventions are also less likely to be provided to healthier and lighter smokers.
