bProgram completers are individuals who had at least 6 contacts with the Tobacco Dependence Clinic program. The typical program involves 8 weeks (8 contact points) of a closed group therapy session. Individuals could miss no more than two weeks (two contacts) to still have meaningful participation in the program. cFTND = Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence. This is a six-item questionnaire of nicotine dependence, scored on a scale of ‘0’ (low) and ‘10’ (high). CO = Expired Carbon monoxide. This is measured in parts per millimeter (ppm). For FTND, CO level at baseline, and Total number of visits, the odds ratios represent the odds of smoking cessation per each unit increase in the variable. dHosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit results for Total sample (n= 388): χ2= 8.02 (DF=8), p=.432; for Women (n = 167): χ2= 7.30 (DF=8), p=.505; and for Men (n = 218): χ2= 14.00 (DF=8), p=.082 *p <.05, **= p<.01, *** = p <.001 |
