Intentions to quit smoking change over short periods of time
Article Abstract:
Swedish and US smokers were randomized to Complete Stage of Change (SOC) to assess the stability of intention to quit smoking at either 0, 7, 14 and 30 days or at 0 and 30 days in the absence of intervention. The four-assessment group had more progression in intention to quit than the two-assessment group and it was concluded that intention to quit often spontaneously changed over short periods of time, especially with repeated testing.
