Predicting Quit Attempts Among Homeless Smokers Seeking Cessation Treatment: An Ecological Momentary Assessment Study

摘要

Introduction: Homeless adults are more likely to smoke tobacco and are less likely to successfully quit smoking than smokers in the general population, despite comparable numbers of cessation attempts and desire to quit. To date, studies that have examined smoking cessation in homeless samples have used traditional lab/clinic-based assessment methodologies. Real-time assessment of key variables may provide new insights into the process of quitting among homeless smokers.
