About this study

The purpose of this study was to determine if a school-based multi-session group smoking cessation program is more effective than a single session group program.

Read the detailed description

The investigators reformatted two group smoking cessation programs (the NOT program of the American Lung Association and Kicking Butts), both of which involve 50 minute sessions delivered once weekly, into a program that could be delivered during school lunch periods (25-30 minutes) twice weekly. Smoking status was subsequently assessed over the 12 month period following the intervention,

Are results available for this study?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Self reported quit status (Student identifies self as non-smoker and no smoking for 30 days) (time frame: End of program and 1, 3, 6 and 12 months later). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
