چکیده
INTRODUCTION The Community Intervention Trial for Smoking Cessation (COMMIT) was a large-scale undertaking that incorporated virtually all key features of past community trials. It was the largest National Cancer Institute (NCI) effort to test methods to help people stop smoking. COMMIT used many methods and strategies developed in smaller NCIfunded trials conducted in the early 1980’s (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1990) and incorporated many of these methods into a community-based approach, which involved community groups, institutions, and organizations in confronting the smoking problem in their community.
