Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

OBJECTIVE: Between September 2002 and February 2003, the authors assessed the effectiveness of a new, age-tailored, self-help smoking-cessation program for college students. PARTICIPANTS: College student smokers (N = 216) from 6 Ontario universities participated. METHODS: The researchers used a randomized controlled trial with a 3-month telephone follow-up. Interventions included a new program (Smoke|Quit), the Canadian Cancer Society's self-help program, and a usual care quit kit. RESULTS: Intention-to-treat analysis of 7-day point prevalence cessation revealed quit rates of 11.4% for Smoke|Quit, 2.9% for the Cancer Society's program, and 5.6% for the usual care intervention (p < .05). Among nonquitters, 46.5% had made a quit attempt, and weekly consumption decreased from 54.01 to 42.08 cigarettes (p < .001) with no differences across interventions. CONCLUSIONS: Making tailored, self-help programs widely available on campus may be an effective way to provide smoking-cessation support to a large segment of the young adult population.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
