Differences in Other Smoking-Related Behaviors and Outcomes Between Pivot and QuitGuide
CPD
There were notable differences in other smoking-related outcomes and behaviors between the 2 study groups. Specifically, at 52 weeks, participants in the Pivot group reported a significant increase in self-efficacy via the SASEQ, whereas QuitGuide participants did not. Moreover, more Pivot participants ordered NRT over the course of the study, with higher mean NRT orders per person. Both higher self-efficacy and NRT use are associated with an increased likelihood of cessation [QuitGuide participants made, on average, more quit attempts and achieved a greater reduction in CPD among individuals who did not report abstinence. The literature provides a mixed picture of quit attempts, acknowledging that it can take an average of 30 quit attempts before successfully quitting for 1 year or longer [
