| dc.description.abstract | Individuals with substance use disorders are susceptible to health risks and mortality given their increased frequency and intensity of smoking. Intervening with the completion of early stage of change tasks could increase their desire to engage in cessation services during treatment. The present study examined group differences of participating in a single Motivational Interviewing session on motivational constructs, interest in cessation aids/support, perceived risks/benefits of quitting, and information seeking behavior. Participants recruited within two residential substance abuse treatment centers in Baltimore completed baseline self-report, posttest, and two-week follow-up questionnaires. Analysis of Covariance and Logistic Regressions were used to analyze data from 71 participants who met inclusion criteria and participated in the three measurement points. Baseline measures suggest that there were no significant differences between participants in the intervention group (n = 40) and the waitlist control (n = 31) with regard to key constructs. Desire to quit smoking increased significantly across the sample from baseline to the two week follow up. This modest change is clinically relevant in a population typically characterized as not motivated to quit. Confidence to quit also significantly increased in the sample suggesting self-efficacy can be enhanced early in treatment. Related, sample cigarettes smoked per day dropped significantly and was found to be significantly related to confidence. There were significant differences by group with regard to stage of change. On average, intervention group participants were in Contemplation at the end of the study while individuals in the waitlist control remained in Precontemplation, F(1, 67) = 5.008, p < .029, partial η2= .070. Intention to change behavior can be impacted by participation in an intervention enhancing motivation to quit early in treatment programming. These findings contribute to an expanding literature on affecting completion of tasks associated with progression through the early stages of change for smoking cessation within a population in residential substance abuse treatment. Although these findings are preliminary, results encourage further examination of the relations between confidence and desire to quit smoking and their impact on intention to quit and interest in cessation support while in treatment. | |
