Protocol - Motivation to Quit - Single Item
Description
This protocol is a single item measuring motivation to quit smoking among those who want to quit smoking.
Specific Instructions
Current smoking status must be ascertained before implementing this protocol. Proceed only if respondent currently smokes cigarettes.
The Content Expert Panel suggests investigators consider nicotine as derived from any source, including both natural and synthetic, when administering this protocol.
The Content Expert Panel recommends investigators substitute people-first language (i.e. replace behavior-based labels such as "smoker" with "people who smoke") as outlined in Hefler, M. et al 2023, which may differ from the original protocol text.
