Description
Summary:Treatment joiners were differentiated from non-joiners in a smoking cessation clinic. Subjects were 108 smokers who attended an orientation session for a smoking cessation program. The primary variable of interest was perceived self-efficacy. Other variables studied were demographic characteristics, tobacco and drug use, anxiety, and health locus of control. Non-joiners were found to be more anxious, less educated, and had a lower self-efficacy expectation than treatment joiners.
