Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Abstinence is measured by the follow up survey created for the purpose of the study at 3, 6 and 12 month post quit date, biochemically validated with a saliva sample.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Biochemically validated sustained abstinence is measured using the follow up survey created for the purpose of the study at 3, 6 and 12 month post quit date, biochemically validated with a saliva sample 2. Mechanisms of effect of strategies are measured using the Ecological Momemtary Assessment sub study data (at 8-12 weeks post quit date) and Qualitative sub study interview transcripts at 3, 6 and 12 month post quit date 3. Sustained reduction in cigarette consumption measured using the smoking status questions using the follow up survey created for the purpose of the study at 3, 6 and 12 months post quit date 4. Cost-effectiveness of the different strategies measured using the EuroQol five dimensions questionnaire (EQ5D) and smoking cessation and health service use questionnaires [provide specific questionnaire names/state if designed for this study – these are their names] at baseline, 6 and 12 months 5. Effects of strategies (e.g. on relapse rates, participant ratings etc.) on people from different socioeconomic and ethnic groups, of different gender, with different prior smoking habits, and those who stopped smoking using different forms of medication measured using demographic details from baseline survey created for the purpose of the study and smoking status/intervention ratings on follow up surveys created for the purpose of the study at 3, 6 and 12 months post quit date 6. Use and ratings of the strategies by participants, including reported engagement and negative aspects of the interventions measured using the use and ratings questions on the follow up surveys created for the purpose of the study at 3, 6 and 12 months post quit date
