An evaluation of the American Lung Association's home video smoking cessation program.

One hundred and one participants received In Control: A Home Video Freedom from Smoking Program. Of 53 completing self-treatment, 31 were verified by CO testing as abstinent one month after completion. Twenty-one per cent of the sample (40 per cent of those completing treatment) had not smoked in the past three months prior to 12 month follow-up and 16 per cent of the total sample (30 per cent of those completing treatment) had not smoked at all in the past 11 months.
