A Population-Level Assessment of Smoking Cessation following a Diagnosis of Tobacco- or Nontobacco-Related Cancer among United States Adults

Figure 1

Study schema demonstrating the survey waves/dates that correspond with our exposure of interest (tobacco- or nontobacco-related cancer diagnosis versus no cancer diagnosis (the referent) at Wave II/III) and our primary outcome (smoking cessation at Wave IV relative to Wave I) for an analytic sample of adult current smokers at baseline (Wave I). Percentages are population prevalence estimates with 95% confidence intervals. Data collection for each wave was performed over the course of the listed time period, but elapsed time between waves for each participant was roughly 1 year from the prior wave.
