Randomized Controlled Trial
Smokeless tobacco cessation cluster randomized trial with rural high school males: intervention interaction with baseline smoking.
Adolescent males in rural areas use smokeless tobacco (ST). We assessed the efficacy of a school-based nurse-directed ST intervention among rural high school males. ⋯ A school-based nurse-directed ST cessation program was efficacious among rural nonsmoking ST-using high school males. The potential program reach holds significant public health value. Baseline ST use facilitated smoking at follow-up.
