Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Number of Participants With Reported 7-day Point Prevalence Abstinence at 3 Months

    Point prevalent abstinence was defined as biochemically-verified reports of no smoking in the 7 days prior to the 3 month assessment. Participants reporting no smoking in the past 7 days will be coded as abstinent from cigarettes. Participants with a salivary cotinine level \<11 ng/ml, indicating nonsmoking were considered confirmed nonsmokers

    3 months post baseline

  • Number of Participants With Reported 7-day Point Prevalence Abstinence at 6 Months

    Point prevalent abstinence was defined as biochemically-verified reports of no smoking in the 7 days prior to the 6 month assessment. Participants reporting no smoking in the past 7 days will be coded as abstinent from cigarettes. Participants with a salivary cotinine level \<11 ng/ml, indicating nonsmoking were considered confirmed nonsmokers

    6 months post baseline

  • Number of Participants With Reported 7-day Point Prevalence Abstinence at 12 Months

    Point prevalent abstinence was defined as biochemically-verified reports of no smoking in the 7 days prior to the 12 month assessment. Participants reporting no smoking in the past 7 days will be coded as abstinent from cigarettes. Participants with a salivary cotinine level \<11 ng/ml, indicating nonsmoking were considered confirmed nonsmokers

    12 months post baseline

Secondary Outcomes (11)

  • Number of Participants With a Reduction in Cigarettes Smoked Over Time

    3, 6, and 12 months post baseline

  • Number of Participants Whom Attempted to Quit Tobacco Use During the Course of Treatment

    3, 6, and 12 month post-baseline

  • Number of Participant Reporting a Readiness to Quit Tobacco Use Over Time

    3, 6, and 12 months post-baseline

  • Average Score on the Thoughts About Abstinence Questionnaire (Smoking)

    At Baseline

  • Average Number of Days of Heavy Episodic Drinking (HED) Over Time

    3, 6, and 12 months post-baseline

  • +6 more secondary outcomes
