4 participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Quit day and 1 week, 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 10 weeks and 6 months post quit day

Withdrawal symptoms will be assessed by questionnaire on Quit Day, 1 week post quit, 3 weeks post quit, 6 weeks post quit,10 weeks post quit and 6 months post quit (if applicable) using the Shiffman-Jarvik questionnaire, which consists of 33-items rated from 1 to 7, where 1= not at all, 2= very little, 3= a little, 4= moderately, 5= a lot, 6= quite a lot, and 7= extremely. The 33 items are grouped into 8 subscales: Craving, Negative Affect, Appetite, Arousal, Somatic - Anxiety, Somatic - G.I., Somatic - Respiratory Tract, and Habit Withdrawal. The range of scores for each subscale will be 1-7, with higher scores indicating more of the withdrawal symptom having been experienced.
