| Using CO Feedback To Induce Smoker Cessation Treatment |
| ANDY CHEN (Asian American Anti-Smoking Foundation) |
| Abstract: This presentation focuses on the use of objective feedback apparatus to induce increased participation in smoking cessation treatment. In the past, we have learned that stressing adverse effects of smoking has been less effective than expected. This presentation illustrates how Carbon Monoxide (CO) monitoring device use can increase the motivation of smokers to enter treatment. Smokers who view their high levels of CO on a testing device are more easily convinced that treatment is necessary. |
