Study: Computerized Program Helps Teens Quit Smoking
A smoking cessation program involving four computerized sessions is effective for teens, new research indicates. From the article:
Fritz studied 128 teenagers, 14-19 years old, divided in half for control and experimental groups. The experimental group completed four CASCP computer sessions as well as questionnaires and post-intervention testing. Not only did the experimental group report more quit attempts than the control group subjects, who did not participate in the computer sessions, but 23% of the teens actually quit smoking.
