Cost effectiveness of a community based research project to help women quit smoking
The cost effectiveness ratios of this research project are economically attractive, and are comparable with other smoking cessation interventions for women. These observations should encourage further research and dissemination of community based interventions to reduce smoking
Factors influencing quality of life in breast cancer survivors
A mass media programme to prevent smoking among adolescents
Estimates of the cost-effectiveness ratios of this mass media campaign in preventing the onset of smoking showed it to be economically attractive and to compare favourably with other preventive and therapeutic strategies

Mohawk English in the Medical Interview
Mohawk English uses metalinguistic cues that reflect Iroquoian grammatical and sociolinguistic patterning. Although phrases like "It seems to me" are common in many varieties of English, Mohawk English speakers use these words and phrases in subtly different ways from other speakers of English. These differences could lead to misinterpretation by health care providers
Mass media and school interventions for cigarette smoking prevention
The long-term cigarette smoking prevention effects of mass media and school interventions were assessed. Adolescents in two communities received both mass media and school interventions; those in two matching communities received only school interventions. Surveys of 5458 students were conducted at baseline in grades 4 through 6 and 2 years after the 4-year interventions were completed, when students were in grades 10 through 12. Students exposed…
Prevention of cigarette smoking through mass media intervention and school programs
OBJECTIVES. In this study we tested the ability of mass media interventions to enhance the efficacy of school cigarette smoking prevention programs. METHODS. For 4 years, students in one pair of communities received media interventions and school programs that had common educational objectives. Students in a matched pair of communities received only the school programs. The combined cohort of 5458 students was surveyed at baseline in grades 4, 5,…
