title: Change in worksite smoking behavior following cancer risk feedback: a pilot study.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To pilot a worksite smoking intervention.
  
  
  METHODS
  Following baseline assessment, participants (N=6378) received cancer risk feedback; 2 annual evaluations were conducted.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Using all data, smoking dropped from 13.7% to 8.4% and 9.3%, and smoker's readiness to quit increased. Using complete data, smoking initially increased from 5.7% to 6.7%, but subsequently decreased to 5.3%; the increase in smoker's readiness to quit remained. Being male, younger, and with lower education and self-efficacy predicted smoking. Lower age and higher self-efficacy predicted readiness to quit smoking.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  These findings support a formal evaluation of a worksite smoking intervention using cancer risk feedback.
