Success Rates
The quality of the Selfhelpworks product
can be found in independent research, the
client list, testimonials,
and Selfhelpworks’ commitment to validation by the medical
and wellness community.
Research
Dr. Jerome Schwartz, Director of the Addiction
Control Research Program, compiled statistics on several different
intervention techniques. His study was accomplished without the
support or knowledge of Selfhelpworks. His results are based on
the percentage of patients who remained abstinent for more than
one year after participating in the programs listed. Here are
his findings:
|
|
Drugs
5 - 8%
|
Physicians
0 - 11%
|
Aversion
5 - 15%
|
Group
12 - 28%
|
Hypnosis
15 - 18%
|
Behavioral
10 - 43%
|
Selfhelpworks
63 - 82%

83% Success Rate
Another typical study consisted of 62 patients who were enrolled
in the LivingFree Program for Smokers™ at St. Luke’s
Lutheran Hospital in San Antonio, Texas. Of the patients who attended
all eight sessions, 83% were totally abstinent at the end of one
year. Sixy-seven percent of the participants who attended at least
one session were not smoking after one year. This paper was submitted
to the American College of Chest Physicians by Dr. Michael Wooley,
FCCP.
71% Success Rate
To test the internet delivery mechanism for the programs, a beta
test was conducted with a sample of employees from a Fortune 500
company. This test group showed a total abstention rate of 71%
at the seven-month mark.
70% Success Rate
We have conducted independent studies of nearly three thousand
students. These demonstrate that if the participants are willing
to start the program, they are about 70% likely to succeed. Success
is defined by the percentage of participants who start the program
that are able to maintain total abstention from the undesired
behavior for at least one year. The Selfhelpworks programs generally
proved to be 2 to 20 times as effective as other programs in the
studies.
