Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
7-Day Point Prevalence Abstinence
Point prevalence abstinence is defined as the prevalence of not experiencing a full relapse in the period immediately preceding measurement. A full relapse will be defined as 7 continuous days of smoking or smoking ≥ 1 day(s) per week for the two consecutive weeks preceding the time of measurement. Self-reported abstinence will be verified by a Carbon Monoxide assay of breath samples and will override self-report in the direction of smoking.
