Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary outcomes are the continuous smoking abstinence and increased food security level (the percentage of participants with an improved food security level) six months after the treatment.

Food insecurity is categorized in food security, mild food insecurity, moderate food insecurity, and severely food insecurity according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary outcomes at one and/or six months post-intervention include the point prevalence abstinence, the mean number of smoked cigarettes per day, the mean number of affirmative responses at the FIES, and the health-related quality of life.
