Abstract

Background and Aims

Inadequate reporting of smoking cessation intervention trials is common and leads to significant challenges for researchers. The aim of this study was to tailor CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials)-SPI (Social and Psychological Interventions) guidelines to improve reporting of trials of behavioural interventions to promote smoking cessation.

Method

Informed by missing data from the IC-SMOKE (Intervention and Comparison group support provided in SMOKing cEssation) systematic review project, this study used a multi-stage Delphi process to examine which items could be added or modified to improve the reporting of smoking cessation trials. The first stage involved an on-line survey of 17 international experts in smoking cessation and trial methodology voting on the importance of items for inclusion in the updated guidelines. This was followed by a face-to-face expert consensus meeting attended by 15 of these experts, where the final inclusion and exclusion of new items and modifications were agreed upon. A nine-point Likert scale was used to establish consensus, with suggested modifications requiring agreement of 75% or more. Disagreements in the first stage were presented again at the second stage for discussion and a second round of voting. Only items which reached the threshold for agreement were included.

Results

The experts agreed on the inclusion of 10 new items and the specification of 12 existing items. This included modifications that could apply to trials more widely (e.g. the rationale for the comparator), but also modifications that were very specific to smoking cessation trials (e.g. the reporting of smoking cessation outcomes).

Conclusions

A Delphi study has developed a modified CONSORT-SPI guideline (CONSORT-SPI-SMOKE) to improve the reporting of trials of behavioural interventions to promote smoking cessation.

调整 CONSORT-SPI 以改进戒烟干预试验的报告：专家共识研究。

背景和目的：戒烟干预试验报告不充分的现象很普遍，这给研究人员带来了巨大挑战。本研究旨在调整 CONSORT（试验报告统一标准）-SPI（社会和心理干预）指南，以改进促进戒烟的行为干预试验报告：根据IC-SMOKE（SMOKing cEssation中提供的干预和比较组支持）系统综述项目的缺失数据，本研究采用了多阶段德尔菲法（Delphi process）来研究哪些项目可以添加或修改，以改进戒烟试验的报告。第一阶段是对 17 位戒烟和试验方法学方面的国际专家进行在线调查，就纳入更新版指南的项目的重要性进行投票。随后，15 位专家参加了面对面的专家共识会议，并在会上就新项目的纳入和排除以及修改达成了一致意见。会议采用李克特九点量表来达成共识，建议的修改需要 75% 或更高的同意率。第一阶段的分歧在第二阶段再次提交讨论，并进行第二轮投票。结果：结果：专家们一致同意纳入 10 个新项目，并对 12 个现有项目进行规范。其中包括适用于更广泛试验的修改（如比较对象的基本原理），以及针对戒烟试验的修改（如戒烟结果的报告）：结论：德尔菲研究制定了修改后的 CONSORT-SPI 指南（CONSORT-SPI-SMOKE），以改进促进戒烟的行为干预试验的报告。

期刊介绍： Addiction publishes peer-reviewed research reports on pharmacological and behavioural addictions, bringing together research conducted within many different disciplines. Its goal is to serve international and interdisciplinary scientific and clinical communication, to strengthen links between science and policy, and to stimulate and enhance the quality of debate. We seek submissions that are not only technically competent but are also original and contain information or ideas of fresh interest to our international readership. We seek to serve low- and middle-income (LAMI) countries as well as more economically developed countries. Addiction’s scope spans human experimental, epidemiological, social science, historical, clinical and policy research relating to addiction, primarily but not exclusively in the areas of psychoactive substance use and/or gambling. In addition to original research, the journal features editorials, commentaries, reviews, letters, and book reviews.
