The reach, retention and costs of four strategies aimed to
recruit smokers for participation in a computer-tailored smoking cessation
intervention was explored. The study was part of a randomized controlled trial
whereby 832 respondents were randomized to three conditions. Smokers were
invited by general practitioners (GPs), newspapers, Internet and other
strategies (i.e. mailing organizations) to take part. Recruitment via GPs
showed highest costs. Recruitment strategy influenced the type of smokers.
Group differences were associated with different patterns of quitting.
