High rates of abstinence and adherence rates Were cost-effective Were more effective among employees with lower education and income All the above
Had a positive impact on peer influence, motivation to quit and participation rates Had no effect on employees’ motivation to quit smoking and participation rates Was only effective if leadership endorsed the program had no effect on convincing employees to attend trainings at the workplace
Leadership “buy-in” had the strongest effect Targeting spouses had the strongest effect Targeting approaches that focus on unique social-contextual factors that create barriers are the most effective A multilevel approach does not offer any advantages.
New employees are more amenable to health promotion efforts Older employees are the smallest segment of the population still smoking Women are more likely to relapse than men Age, gender, educational level, and income accounts for most of the variation in participation rates
