“…The content of these banks is based primarily on the rich set of instruments currently available in the smoking research field (see Edelen et al, 2012) including, among others, the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND; Heatherton, Kozlowski, Frecker, & Fagerström, 1991; more recently referred to as the Fagerström Test of Cigarette Dependence; Fagerström, 2012), the Nicotine Dependence Syndrome Scale (Shiffman, Waters, & Hickcox, 2004), the Wisconsin Inventory of Smoking Dependence Motives (WISDM; Piper et al, 2004), the Smoking Consequences Questionnaire (Brandon & Baker, 1991;Copeland, Brandon, & Quinn, 1995), the Smoking Effects Questionnaire (Rohsenow et al, 2003), the Perceived Risks and Benefits Questionnaire (McKee, O'Malley, Salovey, Krishnan-Sarin, & Mazure, 2005), the Coping with Temptations Inventory (Shiffman, 1988), the Reasons for Smoking Scale (Tate & Stanton, 1990), the Autonomy Over Smoking Scale (DiFranza, Wellman, Ursprung, & Sabiston, 2009), the Michigan Nicotine Reinforcement Questionnaire (Pomerleau et al, 2003), the Questionnaire on Smoking Urges (QSU; Tiffany & Drobes, 1991), the Smoking: Decisional Balance Long Form (Velicer et al, 1985), the Cigarette Dependence Scale, English-language version (Etter, Houezec, & Perneger, 2003), the Self-Efficacy/Temptations Scale-Long Form (Velicer et al, 1990), and the Transtheoretical Model Assessment (Prochaska, Velicer, DiClemente, & Fava, 1988). Initiating this assessment development process by compiling a set of items based on the "best of the best" and supplementing this content with direct input from smokers' own current experiences, we aspired to transport smoking assessment into the 21st century while maintaining a bridge back to the strong measurement legacy established in the smoking research field.…”
