Abstract

The smoking cessation component of a residential program which attempts to concurrently intervene on several risk factors related to chronic disease is described. Seventy-two per cent of the 43 smokers in the first 13 cohorts were abstinent at discharge. Fifty-five per cent were abstinent at two months. Six-month data for the first nine cohorts show 53 per cent abstinence. Possible advantages and disadvantages of a multiple behavior change program in a residential setting are discussed.
