Cigarette smoking and changes in smoking among a cohort of Michigan adults, 1980-82
Factors related to cigarette smoking and to changes over two years were investigated in a sample of Michigan adults. Smoking was associated with age, sex, education, occupation, and beliefs regarding its health effects. Cessation was predicted by amount smoked at baseline, desire to stop, and belief concerning difficulty stopping. Starting smoking was associated with time off cigarettes (negatively), age, belief about health effects, sex, and edu…
Evaluation of a minimal-contact smoking cessation intervention in an outpatient setting
We examined the ability of a provider-initiated, minimal-contact intervention to modify the smoking behavior of ambulatory clinic patients. Smokers at two outpatient sites were assigned to one of three groups: provider intervention only (PI); provider intervention plus self-help manual (PI/M); and usual care (control) group (C). The physician message emphasized the patient's personal susceptibility, the physician's concern, and the patient's abil…
An Assessment of Different Components of Patient Medication Knowledge
Different components of drug knowledge (i.e., knowledge of the drug purpose, regimen, action if a dose is missed, and common side effects) were examined in 187 ambulatory cardiovascular patients in order to determine whether the components were similar enough to be considered interchangeable in representing drug knowledge. Patients and physicians were interviewed in a family practice setting and their responses compared for each cardiovascular dr…

Psychosocial Factors Affecting Adherence to Medical Regimens in a Group of Hemodialysis Patients
The present research was designed to identify psychosocial correlates of adherence among patients receiving hemodialysis at two outpatient clinics. The 116 participants were interviewed concerning their knowledge of treatment, health beliefs, treatment history, social support, personal characteristics, and adherence to the medication, diet and fluid-intake aspects of the regimen. In addition, medical record data were obtained on serum phosphorus …
Linking Research and Practice in Patient Education for Hypertension
Data from a longitudinal study of 432 hypertensive patients under the care of private practitioners are used to answer two questions: How do patients react to educational interventions, and how are their responses related to changes in their adherence behaviors? The four educational interventions, introduced sequentially and tested in a factorial design, were written messages, nurse's phone call, self-monitoring and social support. Patients' reac…

Psychological and Social Factors as Predictors of Medical Behavior
Response to illness was studied in a group of 251 low-income mothers who brought a child to a pediatric clinic for treatment. Measures of illness and use of medical care services for the child constituted the dependent variables; social characteristics of the mother, and her health beliefs and attitudes served as the independent variables. The information was collected by means of personal interviews. A major determinant of seeking care was the p…

Internal Control” and the Taking of Influenza Shots
Expectancies about ability to control the environment and motivation to exert control were assessed among 510 college students, half of whom had voluntarily taken influenza inoculations. Inoculation was more likely among students motivated to exert control but less likely among those who expected to exert control

Dimensions of Authoritarianism
Source Derogation and Persuasion on Controverted Issues
The present study attempted to extend knowledge of persuasion reduction via source derogation in the context of congruity theory by using controverted issues rather than non-controverted truisms. Source derogation reduced persuasion on controverted issues only when the source was unfavorably evaluated. Controverted issues are more varied in favorableness than truisms, and this difference may explain the conditional acceptance of the hypothesis. T…

Smoking
Following the PHS Report on smoking and health, a panel study of 128 college students was conducted, with questionnaires administered 2, 4, and 12 wk. after the Report appeared. Data were obtained on smoking behavior, recall and evaluation of the contents of the Report, perceptions of the personal relevance of health threats from smoking, satisfactions derived from smoking and expected benefits from quitting. Restrictions in the data obtained pre…
