Desire to Quit Smoking, Opt-Out Tobacco Treatment, and Cessation: A Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Clinical Trial
Menée à l'aide des données d'un essai randomisé portant sur 739 personnes (âge moyen : 51 ans ; 47,2 % de femmes), cette étude analyse la réussite du sevrage tabagique en fonction de la volonté d'arrêter de fumer exprimée avant le traitement par substitut nicotinique
A randomized clinical trial (RCT) demonstrated that opt-out treatment achieved higher verified quit rates (22%) than opt-in treatment (16%) 1 month after randomization. When people who smoke have a higher desire to quit before treatment, they have a higher rate of smoking cessation. Understanding how individuals respond to different smoking cessation treatment approaches could guide clinical personalized decision-making. We wanted to know if the opt-out effect was diminished if the participant had less desire to quit when initially approached.
