How is the Effectiveness of Smoking Cessation Programs Measured?
In epidemiology, the effectiveness of smoking cessation programs can be measured using various metrics:
Quit Rates: The percentage of individuals who successfully quit smoking after participating in a cessation program. Relapse Rates: The percentage of individuals who resume smoking after initially quitting. Long-term Abstinence: The rate at which individuals remain non-smokers over an extended period. Cost-effectiveness: The economic evaluation of cessation programs in terms of cost per quit or cost per life-year saved.
