Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Smoking status by SRNT Smoking Status Questionnaire 6 months after treatment
Abstinence measures are collected at four post cessation follow-up visits. Point prevalence serving as the primary outcome measure. Primary outcome analyses will use data from all of the follow-up visits. SRNT Abstinence Status Questionnaire (Hughes et al., 2003) surveys the tobacco use by the participant and persons within the participant's household and social surroundings. The questionnaire also collects data on the use of other tobacco products and nicotine replacement medications. The pre- and post-quit versions of this questionnaire have been adapted to specific timepoints corresponding to participant visits.
