In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Nondirective smoking cessation coaching and Directive smoking cessation coaching for Smoking Cessation. Completed, enrolled 518 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Social support is poorly understood but likely to influence outcomes of behavior change efforts. Social support may take a directive or nondirective approach. In directive support, the person attempting a behavior change is told what to do and even what to think. In nondirective support, the person attempting the behavior change decides what to discuss. In some contexts, interactions of race or income with social support have been reported. This is a randomized controlled trial of directive and nondirective coaching in the context of a smoking quitline offered to employees of two large corporations.
