Psychosocial Factors and Enrollment in a Televised Smoking Cessation Program.

Kviz, Frederick J.; And Others

Health Education Quarterly, v18 n4 p445-61 Win 1991

Interviews with random samples of 641 registrants for a smoking cessation program on Chicago television news and 2,398 smokers who regularly viewed the news determined that registration was associated with (1) recognition of the need to change behavior; (2) high expectation for quitting; (3) concern about the burden of lung cancer on significant others; and (4) motivation to quit.
