Proportion at Risk for Cigarette Smoking

A two item self-report assessment: 1) If one of your best friends offered you an unflavored cigarette would you use it? 2) If one of your best friends offered you a menthol cigarette would you use it? Responses to each item are made on a 10-point scale where 1 = definitely not; and 10 = definitely yes and responses across the two items are summed for a total scale score. Total scale scores are dichotomized: scores of 2 are coded as '0' (no risk) and any score greater than 2 is coded as '1' (at risk). Outcome is proportion at risk of cigarette smoking (number of participants at risk over number of participants within condition).

Responses to each item are made on a 10-point scale where 1 = definitely not; and 10 = definitely yes and responses across the three items are summed for a total scale score. Total scale scores are dichotomized: scores of 3 are coded as '0' (no risk) and any score greater than 3 is coded as '1' (at risk). Outcome is proportion at risk of ENDS use (number of participants at risk over number of participants within condition).
