    Input: Three health education interventions for urban poor hypertensive patients were introduced sequentially in a r and omized factorial design : 1 ) an exit interview to increase underst and ing of and compliance with the prescribed regimen ; 2 ) a home visit to encourage a family member to provide support for the patient 's regimen ; and 3 ) invitations to small group sessions to increase the patient 's confidence and ability to manage his/her problem . Previous evaluation of the initial two-year experience demonstrated a positive effect of the educational program on compliance with the medical treatment and blood pressure control . Data accumulated over an additional three years , including mortality analysis , are now presented . The study group consisted of the same cohort of 400 ambulatory hypertensive out patients in the eight experimental and control groups . The five-year analysis shows a continuing positive effect on appointment keeping , weight control , and blood pressure control . All-cause life table mortality rate was 57.3 per cent less for the experimental group compared to the control group ( 12.9/100 vs 30.2/100 , p less than .05 ) , while the hypertension-related mortality rate was 53.2 per cent less ( 8.9/100 vs 19.0/100 , p less than .01 ) . The results from this longitudinal study provide evidence to encourage health practitioners to utilize such educational programs in the long-term management and control of high blood pressure Perceptions of support for cessation of smoking during pregnancy , likelihood of quitting , and partner smoking status were explored in a sample of 688 pregnant smokers ( 372 baseline smokers and 316 baseline quitters ) . Women with nonsmoking partners were significantly more likely to be baseline quitters than women with partners who smoked . Baseline quitters reported significantly more positive support from their partners than did continuing smokers ( p = .02 ) . Neither partner smoking status nor partner support at baseline was associated with cessation or relapse later in pregnancy . Women reported greater support , both positive and negative , from nonsmoking partners than from partners who smoked ( p = .001 ) . Among partner smokers , those who were trying to quit were perceived to be particularly supportive .  Cessation interventions for expectant fathers may increase pregnant women 's success at quitting It has repeatedly been demonstrated that increased levels of social support are positively associated with a smoker 's likelihood of achieving abstinence . It remains unclear , however , what specific support behaviors influence smoking cessation . This study explores the effects of supportive and undermining behaviors  experienced by subjects ( N = 624 ) in the context of a romantic/marital relationship on a number of smoking cessation outcomes . The associations of social support behaviors with one- , two- , and three-year abstinence and recycling and making quit attempts at 6 , 12 , 24 , and 34 months were examined . Frequencies of both supportive and undermining behaviors predicted the dependent variables under study . Subjects whose spouses demonstrated fewer undermining behaviors were more likely to be successful continuous abstainers , whereas participants ' recycling and making quit attempts seemed to be best predicted by a greater frequency of supportive behaviors . Initial success at cessation might be associated with increased supportive behaviors by a spouse , whereas lower rates of undermining behaviors might be associated with long-term maintenance . Long-term tailored feedback to spouses of smokers wanting to quit might be helpful

REVIEW ERS ' CONCLUSIONS In this review of the r and omized controlled trials of interventions design ed to enhance partner support  for smokers in cessation programs  , we failed to detect an increase in quit rates .
Limited data from several of the trials suggest that these interventions did not increase partner support either .
No conclusions can be made about the impact of partner support on smoking cessation .
