| description | In the studies used for the analyses, group counseling
is defined as having a minimum of two group meetings, and follow-up of smoking status at least 6 months after the start of the program, with carbon monoxide (CO) validated cessation. Most programs used between six and eight sessions, with the first few sessions devoted to discussion of motivation for quitting, health benefits, and strategies for planning a quit attempt. Participants may also keep records of the number of cigarettes smoked and the triggers for smoking (self-monitoring). Part of the group process
also includes discussion and sharing of experiences and
problems (intra-treatment social support), as well as on
ways to seek appropriate support from friends, colleagues
and family (extra-treatment social support). |
