Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Using a prospective, non-comparative design, the DIG program is implemented and evaluated in 6 communities in this feasibility study. The program is offered by trained facilitators to fathers who currently smoke and want to quit. The RE-AIM framework is used to guide the evaluation. Open-ended questions in participant surveys, and semi-structured interviews and weekly telephone de-briefs with facilitators provide data for a process evaluation. Estimates of effectiveness include smoking behavior, fathering and physical activity measures at baseline, end of program, and 3-month follow up.
