“…The data here suggest that the challenges of enrolling minorities in health-related research extend to young adult smokers. Recent observational findings indicate that race is the strongest demographic predictor of quitting behavior among young adults (26).…”

This study investigated the predictors of participation in a smoking cessation trial for young adults ages 18 to 30 years old. Eligible smokers (n = 164) completed a telephone survey that measured demographic, smoking history, and psychosocial variables before the initiation of smoking cessation treatment. Young adult smokers who attended at least one smoking cessation session were compared with those who did not attend any sessions. Logistic regression analysis indicated that race and age were statistically significant multivariate predictors of participation. Caucasians were over six times (odds ratio, 6.03; 95% confidence interval, 2.41-15.05) more likely to participate in the smoking cessation program compared with non-Caucasians (61% versus 19%). For every SD increase in age (SD, 2.45), there was about a 2-fold increase in the likelihood that a young adult smoker participated in the smoking cessation program (odds ratio, 1.82; 95% confidence interval, 1.23-2.71). Future research should investigate how to promote participation in smoking cessation programs among smokers in emerging adulthood and among non-Caucasian young adult smokers to prevent a lifelong habit associated with disproportionate morbidity and mortality.

“…There is now substantial evidence that the predictors of making quit attempts differ from those that predict outcomes among those who try (Hyland et al, 2006). Sociodemographic predictors of making attempts include being young (Hyland et al, 2006;Vanasse, Niyonsenga, & Courteau, 2004), male gender (Nides et al, 1995), White race (e.g., White American vs. minority American; Tucker, Ellickson, Orlando, & Klein, 2005), and well educated (Hatziandreu et al, 1990). Smoking-related predictors of making attempts include level of nicotine dependence (Clark, Kviz, Crittenden, & Warnecke, 1998;Hyland et al, 2006;Vanasse et al), measures of intention/motivation (Burt & Peterson, 1998;Clark et al;Hyland et al, 2006), past quit attempts (Burt & Peterson;Hyland et al, 2006), self-efficacy (Woodruff, Conway, & Edwards, 2008), and concern for health effects caused by smoking (Hyland et al, 2006;West, McEwen, Bolling, & Owen, 2001).…”

Introduction: Limited longitudinal studies on smoking cessation have been reported in Asia, and it remains unclear whether determinants of quitting are similar to those found in Western countries. This study examined prospective predictors of smoking cessation among adult smokers in Thailand and Malaysia.Methods: Four thousand and four smokers were surveyed in Malaysia and Thailand in 2005. Of these, 2,426 smokers were followed up in 2006 (61% retention). Baseline measures of sociodemographics, dependence, and interest in quitting were used to predict both making quit attempts and point prevalence maintenance of cessation.Results: More Thai than Malaysian smokers reported having made quit attempts between waves, but among those who tried, the rates of staying quit were not considerably different between Malaysians and Thais. Multivariate analyses showed that smoking fewer cigarettes per day, higher levels of self-efficacy, and more immediate quitting intentions were predictive of both making a quit attempt and staying quit in both countries. Previous shorter quit attempts and higher health concerns about smoking were only predictive of making an attempt, whereas prior abstinence for 6 months or more and older age were associated with maintenance.Discussion: In Malaysia and Thailand, predictors of quitting activity appear to be similar. However, as in the West, predictors of making quit attempts are not all the same as those who predict maintenance. The actual predictors differ in potentially important ways from those found in the West. We need to determine the relative contributions of cultural factors and the shorter history of efforts to encourage quitting in Asia.

“…In contrast, Jarvis and colleagues (39), using data from major national surveys conducted in 2006-2007 in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, reported that there were no apparent sex differences and that the widespread belief that women have more difficulty quitting than men relates to conducting studies in atypical clinical settings, rather than in the general population. Similarly, sex was not statistically significantly associated with cessation in several longitudinal studies in adolescents (40)(41)(42). Our result that male sex was strongly associated with discontinuation provide further support for the hypothesis that there are sex differences in smoking discontinuation, at least in novice smokers.…”

Background: While long-term cessation is an outcome of interest in adult smokers, little is known about discontinuing smoking in adolescent smokers. The objective was to identify the predictors of the occurrence of smoking discontinuation in novice smokers.Methods: Data were available for 620 adolescent smokers participating in a longitudinal study on the natural course of nicotine dependence. Data on smoking discontinuation (i.e., stopping smoking for !12 consecutive months) were collected in 20 cycles over five years from grade 7 to 11 (1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005). Data on 37 potential predictors representing a wide range of demographic, psychosocial, health, lifestyle, smoking-related, and context-related characteristics were collected once, 2 to 3 times, or 20 times. Pooled logistic regression was used to test the association between each potential predictor and smoking discontinuation, adjusting for potential confounders.Results: Forty percent of 620 participants discontinued smoking during follow up. Conclusions: Both individual and context-level factors were associated with smoking discontinuation. Impact: Programs and policy targeting novice adolescent smokers may be more effective if factors associated with long-term smoking discontinuation are taken into consideration. In particular, young smokers may need help with dependence symptoms, body weight issues, family functioning, and polysubstance use. Cigarette package warnings may be effective in helping adolescents discontinue smoking. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev; 23(6); 1090-101. Ó2014 AACR.
