At the same time, people with a migration background have little or no access to regular smoking cessation treatment. In the last two decades, regular smoking cessation courses were adapted to reach out to Turkish- and Albanian-speaking migrants living in Switzerland. The main aims of the current study were (1) to analyze the effects of an adapted smoking cessation course for Turkish- and Albanian-speaking migrants in Switzerland on attitudes toward smoking and smoking behavior; and (2) to elucidate whether changes in attitudes toward smoking were associated to changes in smoking behavior in the short- and in the long-term.<h4>Methods</h4>A total of 59 smoking cessation courses (Turkish: 37; Albanian:Frontiers in psychology1032091https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9813416biostudies-literatureChanges in attitudes towards smoking during smoking cessation courses for Turkish- and Albanian-speaking migrants in Switzerland and its association with smoking behavior: A latent change score approach.PMC9813416Salis Gross CPaz Castro RHenninger MSchaub MPfalseChanges in attitudes towards smoking during smoking cessation courses for Turkish- and Albanian-speaking migrants in Switzerland and its association with smoking behavior: A latent change score approach.<h4>Introduction</h4>Migrant populations usually report higher smoking rates than locals.
