Text

Data from two clinical trials to 12 weeks of treatment were merged to form this sample (n = 810). Both trials were designed to test interventions for chronic smoking behavior, and had similar interventions across treatment conditions during the first 12 weeks of treatment. Although inclusion criteria for the two trials differed to a degree, participant characteristics across trials were largely comparable. The two samples were combined to provide for increased power to detect relationships among variables of interest.
