Scientific titleEffectiveness of intensive group and individual interventions against smoking in primary health care settings: a three-arm individually randomised controlled trial
Study objectivesIn primary health care settings, an intensive group intervention against smoking is more effective than an intensive individual intervention.

2. Mallorca Primary Health Care Research Board approved on the 27th February 2003 (ref: PI031648)

InterventionThe participants were randomly allocated to the following three arms:
Arm 1: Intensive group intervention
Arm 2: Intensive individual intervention
Arm 3: Usual minimal intervention

Intensive interventions (both group and individual):
Consisted of counselling, psychological support and standardised follow-up. Pharmacological treatment with nicotine derivatives or bupropion was also offered as an option at the physician's judgment.

Usual minimal intervention:
Brief counselling. Pharmacological treatment was also offered as an option at the physician's judgement.

The total duration of interventions was variable. In individual intensive intervention, the protocol recommended 20 minutes for the first visit and 10 minutes for the following. In group intensive intervention, the protocol recommended around 1 hour for all visits. In practice, more time was devoted, especially in group intervention. In usual minimal intervention, no recommendations were given.
