title: Worksite smoking cessation programs: need in West Germany and recommendations for evaluation.
abstract: In distinction from the USA, worksite smoking cessation programs are not yet implemented and their importance is not yet discussed in West Germany. Data from a national survey show that a majority of employees in West Germany are regular or occasional smokers and that about 50% of them are not strongly opposed to joining a smoking cessation program. A review of worksite smoking cessation or reduction programs in the USA reveals necessary characteristics of the implementation and evaluation of such programs in West Germany.
