Cumulative vulnerabilities and smoking abstinence: A test from a randomized clinical trial

Smoking cessation is often associated with socioeconomic and intrapersonal vulnerabilities such as psychopathology. Yet, most research that focuses on predicting smoking cessation outcomes tends focus on a small number of possible vulnerabilities. In a secondary data analysis, we developed and empir...

Description
Summary:Smoking cessation is often associated with socioeconomic and intrapersonal vulnerabilities such as psychopathology. Yet, most research that focuses on predicting smoking cessation outcomes tends focus on a small number of possible vulnerabilities. In a secondary data analysis, we developed and empirically evaluated a comprehensive, cumulative vulnerability risk composite reflecting psychologically based transdiagnostic processes, social determinants of health, and psychopathology. Participants were adult smokers who responded to study advertisements (e.g., flyers, newspaper ads, radio announcements) for an in-person delivered 4-session smoking cessation trial (N = 267; 47% female; Mage = 39.4, SD = 13.8). Results indicated that the decline in point prevalence abstinence (PPA) from quit week to 6-month post-quit was statistically significant (p
