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… 
Smoking re-initiation after cessation program: Comparison of associated factors between young and older adults
TLDR
Considerable differences were noticed between younger and older age groups in the factors which might play a role in re-intiating the smoking habit.
Predictors of participation in a telephone-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for smoking cessation study
TLDR
The study shed light on the factors predictive of participation in a counseling-based smoking cessation program among a Chinese population and found most significant predictors can be feasibly addressed or modified with interventions.
Age and pre quit-day attrition during smoking cessation treatment
TLDR
The logistic regression model indicated that younger age and treatment condition were significantly related to the odds of dropping from treatment prior to the scheduled quit date, and health concerns, social expectancies, and/or perceived severity of cravings did not account for the effect of age on pre quit-day attrition.
Perceived difficulty quitting predicts enrollment in a smoking-cessation program for patients with head and neck cancer.
TLDR
This cross-sectional study is a substudy of a larger, randomized trial of patients with head and neck cancer that determined the predictors of smokers' participation in a cessation intervention.
Racial differences in eligibility and enrollment in a smoking cessation clinical trial.
TLDR
Racial differences were observed nearly at all levels of enrollment determination and these critical barriers to inclusion of African Americans in smoking cessation research limit the understanding of treatment efficacy and ultimately the ability to reduce the health disparities in tobacco-related disease experienced by African Americans.
Predictors of Enrollment of Older Smokers in Six Smoking Cessation Trials in the Lung Cancer Screening Setting: The Smoking Cessation at Lung Examination (SCALE) Collaboration.
TLDR
Enrolling smokers in cessation interventions in the LCS setting is a major priority that requires multiple enrollment and intervention modalities, and offering multiple accrual methods and pharmacotherapy options predicted increased enrollment across trials.
Smoking cessation in homeless populations: who participates and who does not.
TLDR
The recruitment, eligibility, and enrollment of homeless smokers who participated in the Power to Quit smoking study, a randomized smoking cessation clinical trial funded by the National Institutes of Health are described.
A profile of teen smokers who volunteered to participate in school-based smoking intervention
TLDR
A profile of N-O-T teens can guide efforts for targeted recruitment strategies to enhance intervention reach for teen smoking cessation, and provide guidance for marketing and recruitment efforts among established teen smokers, particularly those who want to quit.
Racial/Ethnic Disparities in the Use of Nicotine Replacement Therapy and Quit Ratios in Lifetime Smokers Ages 25 to 44 Years
TLDR
Cross-sectional analyses indicated that African Americans and Latinos were significantly less likely to report having ever used NRT for smoking cessation than Caucasians, and Asian and Latino smokers were as likely as Caucasians to report smoking cessation.
Epidemiologic Determinants Affecting Cigarette Smoking Cessation: A Retrospective Study in a National Health System (SSN) Treatment Service in Rome (Italy)
TLDR
A low self-confidence in quitting smoking was significantly related to continuing tobacco consumption after 6 months and 12 months, and this association was confirmed at 6 months in the analysis performed on logistic regression model.

TLDR
Policy and programs designed to prevent the initiation of smoking and to help smokers quit are needed at both the high school and the college levels to reduce the proportion of young adults who smoke cigarettes.
Depressive symptoms and smoking cessation among inner-city African Americans using the nicotine patch.
TLDR
Although the results indicated a significant association between depressive symptoms and level of smoking, they generally did not support the notion that depressive symptoms are associated with failure to quit.

TLDR
A model was developed which best describes the likelihood of patients achieving continuous long-term abstinence and shows that five factors together have a 76% accuracy of predicting continuous abstinence to 12 months.
