What Beliefs about Quitting Predict Smoking Outcome in Adolescent Smokers after a Cessation Program?

In the Adolescent Cessation Evaluation Study, 195 adolescent smokers completed a smoking cessation program. Self-reported beliefs about quitting at week one were measured in relation to smoking outcome at week four. Using logistic regression models, mood, cravings, previous relapse, and lack of knowledge about quitting were predictive of continued smoking.
