a30-day point prevalence abstinence at 7-month survey.
bFour-point scale index to represent tobacco dependence level based on cigarettes per day and time to first tobacco use after waking. Higher scores on the index represent a higher level of tobacco dependence.
cThe three MHC groups did not significantly differ in likelihood of being quit (Group 1 versus 2: adjusted OR = 0.76 (95% CI = 0.54–1.06), ; Group 1 versus 3: adjusted OR = 1.21 (95% CI = 0.58–2.51), ; Group 2 versus 3: adjusted OR = 1.60 (95% CI = 0.79–3.22), ).
Notes: models also included state as a fixed effect. Callers with missing data on one or more model variables were excluded from the model. values indicate whether variables were a significant predictor of quit status in the multivariable models; a cutoff of was used for statistical significance.
