Abstract

Background: Research on age-progression facial morphing interventions for smoking cessation has not investigated the effect of different instructions for intervention delivery. The objective of this pilot study was to investigate the influence of two instruction types used to deliver the intervention on efficacy of the intervention.

Method: Women were recruited and randomly allocated to an age-progression intervention session with (i) neutral instructions; (ii) instructions designed to reassure; or (iii) a condition that controlled for participant engagement ("control"). The conditions were delivered in a one-time procedure, after which primary (quitting intentions) and secondary (cigarettes/week, quit attempts) outcomes were measured immediately post-intervention, and at 1 and 3 months.

Results: Seventy-two women (M = 25.7; SD = 0.9) were recruited and randomly allocated to condition (Neutral n = 27, Reassuring n = 22, Control n = 23). Quitting intentions were higher in the Reassuring versus Control arm (3 months post-intervention, F = 4.37, p = 0.016, 95% CI [0.231, 2.539], eta² = 0.11); quit attempts were greater in the two intervention arms (58%) versus Control (1-month post-intervention, 15%) (χ² = 9.83, p < 0.05, OR 1.00 [0.28, 3.63]).

Conclusions: Findings highlight the importance of optimising instructions to enhance intervention efficacy.

Trial registration: clinicaltrials.gov Record: NCT03749382.

针对戒烟的年龄递增干预：调查两套说明对干预效果影响的试点研究。

背景：有关戒烟的年龄递进面部变形干预的研究尚未调查过不同的干预指导对干预效果的影响。本试验研究的目的是调查两种干预方法对干预效果的影响：方法：招募妇女并将其随机分配到按年龄递增的干预课程中，其中包括(i)中性指导；(ii)旨在安抚的指导；或(iii)控制参与者参与度的条件（"对照"）。这些条件都是一次性提供的，然后在干预后立即测量主要结果（戒烟意向）和次要结果（每周吸烟量、戒烟尝试），并在1个月和3个月时进行测量：共招募了 72 名女性（M = 25.7；SD = 0.9），并将她们随机分配到不同的条件下（中性条件 = 27 人，安慰条件 = 22 人，控制条件 = 23 人）。干预后 3 个月，F = 4.37，p = 0.016，95% CI [0.231，2.539]，eta2 = 0.11）；两个干预组的戒烟尝试率（58%）高于对照组（干预后 1 个月，15%）（χ2 = 9.83，p 结论：干预后 3 个月，F = 4.37，p = 0.016，95% CI [0.231，2.539]，eta2 = 0.11）：研究结果凸显了优化指导以提高干预效果的重要性。试验注册：clinicaltrials.gov 记录：NCT03749382.

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Behavioral Medicine (IJBM) is the official scientific journal of the International Society for Behavioral Medicine (ISBM). IJBM seeks to present the best theoretically-driven, evidence-based work in the field of behavioral medicine from around the globe. IJBM embraces multiple theoretical perspectives, research methodologies, groups of interest, and levels of analysis. The journal is interested in research across the broad spectrum of behavioral medicine, including health-behavior relationships, the prevention of illness and the promotion of health, the effects of illness on the self and others, the effectiveness of novel interventions, identification of biobehavioral mechanisms, and the influence of social factors on health. We welcome experimental, non-experimental, quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods studies as well as implementation and dissemination research, integrative reviews, and meta-analyses.
