TI  - The effectiveness of a worksite self-help smoking cessation program: a randomized 
      trial.
PG  - 407-21
AB  - A 2 x 2 randomized, factorial pretest/posttest group design was used to evaluate 
      the effectiveness of self-help smoking cessation methods at the worksite. The 
      study investigated the effect of a multicomponent health education and skill 
      intervention versus the effect of a monetary incentive to the employee for 
      quitting. All employees received, in addition, a standardized self-help smoking 
      cessation manual and maintenance manual. Following agreement to participate and a 
      baseline smoking history, all participants were followed for 6 weeks, 6 months, 
      and 12 months. Saliva was obtained for thiocyanate (SCN) analysis of smoking 
      status. Of the estimated 2000 smokers at the site, 387 smokers were recruited. 
      Employees were randomly assigned to one of four groups. Results of this random 
      trial indicate that those employees receiving a multicomponent program were most 
      successful in quitting and remaining abstinent. The monetary incentive appears to 
      have no effect on quit rate.
