ABSTRACT
Vietnamese American males have high smoking rates. This study explored social support mechanisms provided by lay health workers (LHWs) and family members through a smoking cessation intervention. Eight focus groups (N = 54) were conducted in Vietnamese stratified by intervention arms (Tobacco [experimental] and healthy living [control]) with 18 smokers, 18 family members, and 18 LHWs. Smokers reported feeling more accountable for their health behaviors, and smoking changes were reinforced by family members, peers, and LHWs through conversations facilitated during and outside the program. Culturally appropriate interventions with multiple social support mechanisms may reduce smoking in minority populations.
