Worksite smoking cessation programs: need in West Germany and recommendations for evaluation.
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.
