Predictors of Cessation Outcomes Among Older Adult Smokers Enrolled in a Tobacco Quitline Intervention

Abstract

Despite declines in cigarette use among adults in the U.S., smoking among older adults has increased and contributes to the highest burden of tobacco morbidity and mortality; Tobacco quit lines offer a cost-effective, evidence-based, and safe modality for cessation intervention; Cessation trials rarely examine outcomes exclusively among older adults; Fewer trials have examined individual predictors of cessation (vs. continued smoking) among older adults in a tobacco quit line.
