    Notes: Aims. To assess the effects of a smoking cessation program for recovering alcoholics on use of alcohol, tobacco and illicit drugs after discharge from residential treatment. Design and Setting. A randomized community intervention trial design was employed in which 12 residential drug treatment centers in Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska were matched and then randomly assigned to the intervention or control condition. Participants. Approximately 50 adult residents (inpatients) from each site were followed for 12 months after treatment discharge. Intervention. Participating residents in the six intervention centers received a 4-part, individually tailored, smoking cessation program while those in the six control sites received usual care. Findings. Both moderate and heavy drinking rates were reduced in the intervention group. Intervention site participants were significantly more likely than controls to report alcohol abstinence at both the 6-month (OR = 1.59, 95%CI: 1.09-2.35) and 12-month assessment (OR = 1.84, 95%CI:1.28-2.92). Illicit drug use rates were comparable. Effect of the intervention on tobacco quit rates was not statistically significant. Conclusions. Counseling alcoholics in treatment to quit smoking does not jeopardize the alcohol recovery process. However, low-intensity tobacco interventions are unlikely to yield high tobacco quit rates.

    Notes: Abstract This study investigated employee and worksite characteristics prospectively predictive of participation among 474 smokers in nine different worksites taking part in a year-long incentive-based smoking cessation program. Several different ways of defining participation (e.g., joining versus level of attendance, first 6 months versus entire program) were studied. A consistent pattern of results was observed across two of the participation indices, joining the program and participating in one or more monthly follow-up meetings. Both worksite (number of employees, previous health promotion history, degree of support from management) and employee (gender, motivation, previous quit attempts) variables were predictive of participation. Logistic regression analyses revealed that each set of variables, worksite and employee characteristics, was significantly related to participation after controlling for the effects of the other set. We were less able to predict level of attendance among participants who joined the program. Implications of these findings for future studies of participation in health promotion programs are discussed.

    Sex differences in response to physical and nonphysical instigators (1977)

    Notes: Abstract One hundred and twenty subjects competed in a reaction-time task similar to that of Taylor (1967). Subjects were randomly assigned to a white noise, fine, or control condition. In the fine and noise conditions programmed “opponents” administered increasing provocation to subjects over a series of 24 trials. Control subjects were not provoked. As predicted, males retaliated with higher levels of noise than did females, while there were no sex differences in the fine condition. Contrary to prediction, sex of opponent had no effect. Subjects in all conditions tended to view the task as competitive but to devalue their opponent only in the noise condition. The prevalent assumption of female passivity in the face of instigation was rejected. Instead a dichotomy was proposed that while females are less likely than males to reciprocate to physical provocation, they are just as likely to respond to provocation of a nonphysical nature.
