Association between participants’ scores on protection motivation theory components and sustained abstinence from smoking in the personalized smoking cessation intervention, China
thumb pain
REGRESSION
CI: confidence interval; OR: odds ratio; Ref.: Reference group.Notes: We changed the dependent variable to a dummy variable indicating whether the respondent remained abstinent during the follow-up period (if yes = 1; otherwise = 0). The explanatory variables were the protection motivation theory component scores. We used the second generalized estimated equations to assess which protection motivation theory components were associated with sustained abstinence to further explore the reason for the higher sustained abstinence rate in the intervention group. We chose an exchangeable correlation structure for the matrix structure and binary logistic regression for the model setting.We have not received any reports of harm or adverse eﬀects related to this intervention, for example, thumb pain while texting or any road traﬃc accidents.
