Some areas need more cessation programs
Respiratory Care Weekly, December 27, 2006
Youth smoking cessation programs are the least prevalent in areas that are recording increased youth smoking rates, according to a study planned to appear in the January 2007 American Journal of Public Health. The study of 591 youth tobacco cessation programs found that most programs were multi-session, school-based programs serving fewer than 50 adolescents. And although the typical program had a meager annual budget of $2,000, such programs are less prevalent in low-income and rural communities where smoking rates have been on the rise.
"There appears to be an inverse association between the need for cessation programming, based on trends in smoking prevalence and program availability," the study's authors wrote.
