Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study[Effectiveness of telephone aftercare following a smoking cessation program for women on inpatient rehabilitation].
Rehabilitation centres for mothers are a suitable setting to offer smoking cessation treatment to these women. Telephone aftercare could enhance the effectiveness of an inpatient smoking cessation program. We investigated whether non-directive, supportive aftercare or a structured, smoking specific counselling give more benefit. ⋯ A structured telephone aftercare proves to be an effective intervention for women, which stabilizes the abstinence rate following a clinic based smoking cessation program.
