Addressing CVD Prevention with an Innovative Men-centred Approach to Tobacco Reduction
FY 2011-12
Summary
Cigarette smoking is a significant yet preventable risk factor for cardiovascular disease in men. Becoming a new father is an ideal time for men to re-examine their smoking behaviour. A novel, evidence-based program to help fathers in their efforts to reduce and/or quit smoking, Dads in Gear (DIG), was pilot tested in 2010. While DIG was highly rated by the pilot study participants it was resource intensive, and the program feasability and accessibility are major impediments to widespread dissemination. The overall goal of this catalyst proposal is to refine the existing DIG program content and delivery to improve feasibility, accessibility and dissemination. Two objectives will be used to achieve our goal; 1) develop and pre-test an on-line component of the DIG program; and, 2) write a proposal for a multi-site offering and evaluation of the revised DIG program.

Abstract
Cigarette smoking is a significant yet preventable risk factor for cardiovascular disease in men. Becoming a new father is an ideal time for men to re-examine their smoking behaviour. A novel, evidence-based program to help fathers in their efforts to reduce and/or quit smoking, Dads in Gear (DIG), was pilot tested in 2010. While DIG was highly rated by the pilot study participants it was resource intensive, and the program feasability and accessibility are major impediments to widespread dissemination. The overall goal of this catalyst proposal is to refine the existing DIG program content and delivery to improve feasibility, accessibility and dissemination. Two objectives will be used to achieve our goal; 1) develop and pre-test an on-line component of the DIG program; and, 2) write a proposal for a multi-site offering and evaluation of the revised DIG program.
