[ Clinical trial of 2 tobacco use cessation interventions in primary care ] . OBJECTIVE To study the efficacy of two types of intervention to stop tobacco dependency . DESIGN Randomised clinical trial . SETTING Primary care centre . PATIENTS AND OTHER PARTICIPANTS Smokers recruited from among the health centre users through the preventive activities and health promotion programme . INTERVENTIONS INDEPENDENT VARIABLE type of intervention . General variables : age , sex , marital status , educational level , work situation , cohabitation with children , smokers at home , number of years smoking , type of tobacco . There were two types of intervention : a ) Minimal Intervention ( MI ) . b ) Advanced Intervention ( AI ) . 54 patients were included , with 6 losses . 21 were assigned at random to the MI group and 27 to the AI group . Progress was measured at 15 days , 1 month , 3 months , 6 months and a year . RESULTS In the MI , 23.8 % were abstinent at 15 days ; the same percentage at one month and 3 months ; 19 % at 6 months ; and 14.3 % remained abstinent after a year . In the AI , 51.9 % were abstinent at 15 days ; 48.1 % at both one and 3 months ; 25.9 % at 6 months ; and 22.2 % were still not smoking after a year . No significant differences between the two interventions were found in any of the observations . CONCLUSIONS These data do not show that one intervention is better than the other . With the passage of time the effect of the intervention decreased in both groups .
