Protocol - Smoking Quit Attempts

Add to My Toolkit
Description

These self-administered questions ask current and former smokers about their intention to quit smoking, details of past attempts to quit, and whether a health care professional advised the respondent to quit smoking.

Specific Instructions

These questions are only asked of current or former smokers. In order to exclude nonsmokers, the Cancer Working Group recommends adding a filter question. The recommended filter question can be located in the PhenX Toolkit. Please see question 1 of the Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Substances measure Tobacco - Smoking Status (Adult Protocol).
