Adherence across behavioral domains in treatment promoting smoking cessation plus weight control
Article Abstract:
Experts tested whether adherence to simultaneous health changes was unitary or domain specific among 76 women who modified smoking, eating, and physical activity to accomplish smoking cessation plus weight control. Findings support both unitary and domain-specific aspects of adherence and suggest that among smokers, smoking and eating behaviors may have similarities unshared by physical activity.
