Population Health Trial for Smokeless Tobacco Cessation With Military Personnel
Abstract
While smoking cessation has received considerable attention within the military, the use of smokeless tobacco (chewing tobacco and snuff) has not been a focus of medical services or research, Epidemiological data suggest that while smoking has continued to decline both in the general population and within the military, the use of smokeless tobacco products has increased. The primary objective of this research is to develop and evaluate an intervention for smokeless tobacco cessation comprised of proactive recruitment, targeted written and video materials mailed to the subject, and phone call support. At the end of this first year of the study, several accomplishments have been achieved. Accomplishments include recruitment of intervention sites, piloting enrollment procedure and phone scripts, completing the targeted cessation manual, nearing completion of the targeted cessation video, and hiring support staff for the project.
