Smoking Prevention among People aged 60 and over: A Randomized Controlled Trial

NORMAN J. VETTER and DIANE FORD

Department of Epidemiology andCommunity Medicine,University of Wales College of Medicine,Heath Park, Cardiff CF4 4XN

This study aimed to test the hypothesis that people aged 60 and older respond to assistance in stopping smoking. Using a single general practitioner visit backed up by a practice nurse, 14% of the smokers had discontinued the habit 6 months after the intervention period. The intervention group also showed some improvements in a standardized measure of breathlessness.

Revision received June 30, 1989.
