这项自然主义的电话调查研究比较了67名每日大麻使用者和54名每日烟草吸烟者在过去30天内尝试戒烟的严重程度。戒断症状自评量表评估戒断症状的严重程度，李克特量表评估戒断症状和复发之间的关系。两组之间的综合戒断不适评分没有显著差异（大麻的M = 13.0，烟草的M = 13.2）。个体症状严重程度等级也相似，除了烟瘾和出汗略高于烟草。两组都报告说，戒断对复发有很大的贡献，这些评级的强度在各组之间相似。在这项研究中检查的多样化的便利样本增加了外部有效性和普遍性，以前的研究只包括不打算戒烟的用户或排除了许多常见类型的大麻用户。这些异质性大麻和烟草使用者的可比戒断经验支持了先前对照实验室研究的结果，并表明现实世界中的频繁大麻使用者认为戒断症状对他们戒烟的愿望和能力产生了负面影响。(C)2008年由Elsevier Inc.出版
This naturalistic telephone survey study compared perceptions of withdrawal severity in 67 daily cannabis users and 54 daily tobacco cigarette smokers who made quit attempts during the prior 30 days. A Withdrawal symptom Checklist assessed the severity of abstinence symptoms and a Likert scale assessed perceived relations between abstinence symptoms and relapse. A composite Withdrawal Discomfort Score did not differ significantly between groups (M = 13.0 for cannabis, vs. M = 13.2 for tobacco). Individual symptom severity ratings were also of similar magnitude, except craving and sweating were slightly higher for tobacco. Both groups reported that withdrawal contributed substantially to relapse, and the strength of these ratings was similar across groups. The diverse convenience sample examined in this study adds external validity and generalizability to prior studies that included only users not planning to quit or excluded many common types of cannabis users. The comparable withdrawal experience from these heterogeneous cannabis and tobacco users supports previous findings from controlled laboratory Studies and indicates that real-world, frequent cannabis users perceive that withdrawal symptoms negatively affect their desire and ability to quit.
