Although more than 70 countries participate, few are from the Eastern Mediterranean Region. This study evaluated 4 Quit and Win campaigns in Isfahan province, Islamic Republic of Iran, from 1998 to 2004, documenting participation rates, self-reported 1-month and 1-year abstinence rates and related factors. Participation rates among smokers ranged from 0.7%-2.4% of the smokers in Isfahan. One-month quit rates varied from 41.8% in 1998 to 92.8% in 2004. At 1-year follow-up, self-reported quit rates varied from 22.5% in 1998 to 91.2% in 2004. This model was found to be feasible and successful in our community, and can be implemented in other low-and middle-income countries","Shahrokhi, S.||Kelishadi, R.||Sarrafzadegan, N.||Khosravi, A.||Roohafza, H.R.||Pooya, A.||Mollabashi, R.","2008","1270-1279","EMHJ - Eastern Mediterranean Health Journal, 14 (6), 1270-1279, 2008","en","Smoking Cessation::Smoking Cessation::600","Evaluation Studies||Health Promotion||Questionnaires||Knowledge||Attitude","Evaluation of the Quit and Win contest for smoking cessation in the Islamic Republic of Iran","2014-06-17T08:28:40Z","2014-06-17T08:28:40Z","1020-3397","http://applications.emro.who.int/emhj/1406/14_6_2008_1270_1279.pdf","https://iris.who.int/handle/10665/117555"
