New Ways of Helping Poor Smokers to Quit in Central Java, Indonesia
This report describes a pilot cessation
study aimed to test well-proven approaches to helping
smokers quit in a resource-poor setting. The
group-randomized trial (by village) included 788 poor
smokers in 18 villages. Participants were assigned to one of
three intervention groups : counseling only, nicotine
patches only, and a combination of both. 47 people dropped
out soon after the interventions began. Quit rates varied
across the intervention groups, and were significantly
higher for the two groups that received counseling. Whether
or not the counseling groups received nicotine patches made
little difference to outcomes. The 12-month continuous
abstinence rates were 17 percent for the counseling only
group, 15 percent for the counseling plus NRT group, and 7
percent for the group that received nicotine patches only.
The results suggest that cessation support programs could be
successful and cost effective in Indonesia, and achieve
comparable results to similar efforts in America, Canada,
Australia, the UK and Europe.
