Abstract
Introduction
The purpose of this literature review is to report the effectiveness of trials using
the Transtheoretical Model of Change for achieving smoking cessation among adolescents.
Method
An integrative literature review was performed. Two reviewers searched the Internet
for randomized, controlled trials or observational studies of adolescent smoking cessation
trials reported between 1999 and June 2009 that used the Transtheoretical Model of
Change.
Results
Six randomized controlled trials remained after all inclusion and exclusion criteria
were met. Each study was reviewed qualitatively and odds ratio and quit rates were
calculated. Four studies demonstrated an odds ratio of greater than 1.0, and in four
studies significantly better quit rates were found in the intervention arm versus
the control arm at the endpoint evaluation.
Discussion
Evidence exists for the effectiveness of stage-based interventions in promoting smoking
cessation in adolescents.
