Abstract

BackgroundLittle is known about the effectiveness of mobile apps in aiding smoking cessation or their validity for automated collection of data on smoking cessation outcomes. ObjectiveWe conducted a preliminary evaluation of SF28 (SF28 is the name of the app, short for SmokeFree28)—an app aimed at helping smokers to be smoke-free for 28 days. MethodsData on sociodemographic characteristics, smoking history, number of logins, and abstinence at each login were uploaded to a server from SF28 between August 2012 and August 2013. Users were included if they were aged 16 years or over, smoked cigarettes at the time of registration, had set a quit date, and used the app at least once on or after their quit date. Their characteristics were compared with data from a representative sample of smokers trying to stop smoking in England. The percentage of users recording 28 days of abstinence was compared with a value of 15% estimated for unaided quitting. Correlations were assessed between recorded abstinence for 28 days and well-established abstinence predictors. ResultsA total of 1170 users met the inclusion criteria. Compared with smokers trying to quit in England, they had higher consumption, and were younger, more likely to be female, and had a non-manual rather than manual occupation. In total, 18.9% (95% CI 16.7-21.1) were recorded as being abstinent from smoking for 28 days or longer. The mean number of logins was 8.5 (SD 9.0). The proportion recording abstinence for 28 days or longer was higher in users who were older, in a non-manual occupation, and in those using a smoking cessation medication. ConclusionsThe recorded 28-day abstinence rates from the mobile app, SF28, suggest that it may help some smokers to stop smoking. Further evaluation by means of a randomized trial appears to be warranted.

Abstract

Writing and publishing scientific papers is the core business of researchers, but is often experienced as difficult and frustrating. This book provides clear and concise key information on 12 major aspects of the process, from how to get started to dealing with reviewers’ comments. We describe each aspect structured into background information (‘‘What you should know’’), concrete advice (‘‘What you should do’’),and a checklist of the main points.

Abstract

Background Tobacco cigarettes, e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products can pose different health risks (harm continuum). As current tobacco smokers could benefit from switching to less harmful products, we aimed to assess current smokers' perceived comparative health risks of these three products and to explore associations between risk perceptions and specific user characteristics. Methods We analysed data from 11 waves (2019–2021; N  = 5657 current tobacco smokers) of a representative, cross-sectional household survey conducted in Germany. Associations were assessed with multivariable logistic regression models. Results 55.2% of smokers (95%CI = 53.8–56.5%) ranked cigarettes as the most harmful product. 36.1% of smokers (95%CI = 34.8–37.3%) perceived e-cigarettes and 33.8% (95%CI = 32.5–35.0%) heated tobacco products as more harmful than cigarettes. Misperceptions that e-cigarettes or heated tobacco products are more harmful to health than cigarettes increased over the 3-year study period and were more common among those with lower educational attainment. Conclusions Only half of current tobacco smokers in Germany perceive the comparative health risks of cigarettes adequately and such misperceptions have increased recently. As current smokers could benefit most from switching to less harmful products, educational campaigns are needed to inform this group about the health risks of tobacco smoking and the comparative health risks of the various nicotine and tobacco products along the harm continuum.

Abstract

We aim to conduct a pilot cluster randomised controlled trial to assess, in the context of brief general (GP) advice to stop smoking, whether offering full reimbursement of the costs for smoking cessation pharmacotherapy compared with no reimbursement (i.e., current care as usual) increases abstinence from smoking after 12 weeks in smoking patients consulting their GP. A total of 24 GP practices (with a total of 288 patients) from North Rhine-Westphalian General Practice Research Network (NRW-GPRN; www.hafo.nrw) will be randomised 1:1 to an intervention and a control group. In both groups, GPs will receive a training in delivering brief stop-smoking advice according to the ABC method (ask, brief advice, cessation support). Only in the intervention group, GPs’ smoking patients will receive full reimbursement of pharmacotherapy for smoking cessation, such as nicotine replacement therapy. The primary scientific outcome will be patients’ self-reported 7-day non-smoking, biochemically validated with a carbon monoxide measurement in exhaled air (cut-off
