We compared the means in the two groups for continuously scaled measures using the Student t-test and investigated the multivariable association of the characteristics of participation with a multiple logistic regression. For process data we present frequencies, percentages, and means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Results:&nbsp;<\/strong>Characteristics associated with participation included self-efficacy to change fruit and vegetable consumption (p = .0009) and self-identification with union&#8217;s problems (p = 0.05). Eighty-six percent of non-smokers and 61% of smokers completed between 1 and 4 counseling sessions. Over one-half of non-smokers (61%) and smokers (53%) completed 4 or more calls and more smokers (34%) than non-smokers (11%) completed the 5+ sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusions:&nbsp;<\/strong>These results provide a snapshot of characteristics of construction laborers to whom this intervention can be generalized and indicators of feasibility necessary for translating research into practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Similar articles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"similar-articles-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/18653261\/\">Population-based smoking cessation in women post partum: adherence to motivational interviewing in relation to client characteristics and behavioural outcomes.<\/a>Thyrian JR, Freyer-Adam J, Hann\u00f6ver W, R\u00f6ske K, Mentzel F, Kufeld C, Bischof G, Rumpf HJ, John U, Hapke U.Midwifery. 2010 Apr;26(2):202-10. doi: 10.1016\/j.midw.2008.04.004.
