Abstract
Background: In the UK, the highest proportion of current smokers is in the 25-34 age group. Whilst there are effective smoking cessation interventions, they are not always accessed by young adults. An up-to-date review of smoking cessation strategies for young people has been conducted to understand the current state of the literature with a view to the implications for people with severe mental ill health (SMI).
Methods: A scoping review was conducted to explore individual-level interventions aimed at helping young adults to stop smoking. The protocol was registered on Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/8u24h/). We searched MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, ASSIA and Web of Science databases. Randomized controlled trials published in English, conducted in any country in any setting with an aim of smoking cessation or reduction at an individual level, were included. We extracted data on study design, participant characteristics, intervention and control conditions, and key findings. A descriptive analytical approach was used, and the results are presented in tables.
Results: Thirty-one unique studies were identified for inclusion. Twenty were non-pharmacological, two were pharmacological, and nine contained both non-pharmacological and pharmacological elements. Fifteen of the studies included a digitally delivered component.
Conclusions: There is a growing body of research on individual-level smoking cessation interventions for young people. An increasing number of interventions are being delivered digitally. Further research should focus on ensuring that RCTs of digitally delivered interventions include diverse populations of young adults to ensure that existing inequalities are not exacerbated.
背景:在英国,目前吸烟者比例最高的是25-34岁年龄组。虽然有有效的戒烟干预措施,但年轻人并不总是能够获得。对年轻人戒烟策略进行了最新审查,以了解文献的现状,以期了解对严重精神疾病(SMI)患者的影响。方法:对旨在帮助年轻人戒烟的个人干预措施进行范围综述。该协议已在开放科学框架(https://osf.io/8u24h/)上注册。我们检索了MEDLINE、CINAHL、PsycINFO、ASSIA和Web of Science数据库。在任何国家、任何环境中进行的以个人戒烟或减少吸烟为目标的英文随机对照试验被纳入研究范围。我们提取了有关研究设计、参与者特征、干预和控制条件以及主要发现的数据。采用描述性分析方法,结果以表格形式呈现。结果:31项独特的研究被纳入。20种是非药物成分,2种是药物成分,9种既有非药物成分又有药物成分。其中15项研究包含数字交付组件。结论:针对年轻人的个人层面的戒烟干预措施的研究越来越多。越来越多的干预措施正在以数字方式提供。进一步的研究应侧重于确保数字化干预措施的随机对照试验包括不同的青年群体,以确保现有的不平等不会加剧。
期刊介绍:
For over 50 years, Substance Use & Misuse (formerly The International Journal of the Addictions) has provided a unique international multidisciplinary venue for the exchange of original research, theories, policy analyses, and unresolved issues concerning substance use and misuse (licit and illicit drugs, alcohol, nicotine, and eating disorders). Guest editors for special issues devoted to single topics of current concern are invited.
Topics covered include:
Clinical trials and clinical research (treatment and prevention of substance misuse and related infectious diseases)
Epidemiology of substance misuse and related infectious diseases
Social pharmacology
Meta-analyses and systematic reviews
Translation of scientific findings to real world clinical and other settings
Adolescent and student-focused research
State of the art quantitative and qualitative research
Policy analyses
Negative results and intervention failures that are instructive
Validity studies of instruments, scales, and tests that are generalizable
Critiques and essays on unresolved issues
