Multivariate analysis of predictors associated with tobacco abstinence¹.

Variable	OR (95% CI)	-value	ORAdj (95% CI)	Adjusted value
Age < 50, years	0.86 (0.32–2.28)	0.76	NS
Male sex	0.87 (0.34–2.28)	0.78	NS
Black race	0.97 (0.25–3.70)	0.96	NS
History of mental illness	0.44 (0.02–1.18)	0.10	NS
Cocaine or heroin use, past or current	0.23 (0.08–0.61)	0.00	0.20 (0.07–0.56)	0.002
Moderate/high nicotine dependence (FTND ≥5)^2	0.41 (0.15–1.09)	0.07	NS
Preparation Stage of Change^3	7.19 (0.92–56.24)	0.06	8.26 (1.02–66.67)	0.048

OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; OR_Adj = adjusted odds ratio; NS = not significant.
¹Final model included age, sex, race, history of mental illness, history of heroin or cocaine use, nicotine dependence, and stage of change; due to 1 missing value.
²As measured by the modified Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND); score of ≥5 indicates significant nicotine dependence; score of ≤4 indicates low-moderate nicotine dependence.
³As measured by stage of change short form: precontemplation and contemplation versus preparation stage of change, excluding 1 missing value.
