TL;DR: An aggressive smoking intervention program significantly reduces the age-related decline in FEV 1 in middle-aged smokers with mild airways obstruction and use of an inhaled anticholinergic bronchodilator results in a relatively small improvement inFEV 1 that appears to be reversed after the drug is discontinued.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early and late weight gain following smoking cessation in the lung health study
Peggy O'Hara,Peggy O'Hara,John E. Connett,Wondra Wong Lee,Mitchell A. Nides,Robert P. Murray,Robert A. Wise +6 more
TL;DR: The average gains and the high proportions of sustained and intermittent quitters who gained excessive weight suggest the need for more effective early interventions that address both smoking cessation and weight control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social support for smoking cessation and abstinence: The lung health study
TL;DR: Spouse involvement, however, is more evidently useful for men than for women and has implications for the distinction between women and men in studies of social support and for intervention strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design of the Lung Health Study: A randomized clinical trial of early intervention for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
TL;DR: The background, design, sample size, and power estimates for the trial, as well as the treatment program and the rationale for the choice of inhaled bronchodilator are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
HIV prevention among Zambian adolescents: developing a value utilization/norm change model.
TL;DR: The cultural background of Zambian adolescents is reviewed and a value utilization/norm change (VUNC) model is developed, which is intended to provide a conceptual framework for understanding how to utilize selected core values of the adolescents to strengthen or alter norms within the social networks in order to elicit desired HIV risk reduction.
