Barriers to Quitting Areca Nut Consumption and Joining a Cessation Program as Perceived by Chewer and Nonchewer Populations in Guam.

Conclusions: Current findings suggest chewers are unaware of the harmful effects of AN. Also, they may not comprehend the purpose of a cessation program. In addition, the likelihood of chewers participating in a cessation program is influenced by their level of comfort with the program and personnel, and whether a program addresses their time and transportation limitations.
