背景资料：本研究比较了四种常用的依赖性测量方法的预测效度和增量效度（诊断和统计手册-IV [DSM-IV]尼古丁依赖标准，Fagerstrom尼古丁依赖测试[FTND]，尼古丁成瘾检查表[HONC]，尼古丁依赖综合征量表[NDSS]）在报告轻度吸烟模式的大学一年级样本中的应用。尼古丁依赖的措施，管理在第一学期末和后续吸烟行为在第一学年和第二学年结束时评估吸烟情况（即持续吸烟、数量、频率和戒烟时间）。通过HONC和DSM-IV测量的更高水平的依赖性预测了两次随访评估中的吸烟行为。在随访评估中，一些NDSS因素的得分越高，吸烟行为越重，而其他NDSS因素的得分越高，吸烟行为越轻。DSM-IV，NDSS优先级，和HONC措施提供了一些证据的增量效度。更高的依赖分数，所有四个措施都与较短的长度的戒烟abstinence.Conclusions：四个依赖措施的差异相关的吸烟行为的结果在轻吸烟样本。这些发现表明，尼古丁依赖可以预测轻度吸烟者的各种吸烟行为。(c)2006爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司保留所有权利。
Background: The present study compared the predictive and incremental validity of four commonly used dependence measures (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-IV [DSM-IV] nicotine dependence criteria, Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence [FTND], Hooked On Nicotine Checklist [HONC], Nicotine Dependence Syndrome Scale [NDSS]) in a first year college sample reporting light smoking patterns.Methods: Nicotine dependence measures were administered at the end of the first semester and follow-up smoking behavior (i.e. continued smoking, quantity, frequency, and length of abstinence) was assessed at the end of the first and second academic years.Results: Higher levels of dependence as measured by the HONC and DSM-IV predicted smoking behavior at both follow-up assessments. While higher scores on some of the NDSS factors predicted heavier smoking behavior during follow-up assessments, higher scores on other NDSS factors predicted lighter smoking behavior. The DSM-IV, NDSS-priority, and HONC measures provided some evidence for incremental validity. Higher dependence scores on all four measures were related to shorter lengths of smoking abstinence.Conclusions: The four dependence measures were differentially related to smoking behavior outcomes in a light smoking sample. These findings suggest that nicotine dependence can predict a variety of smoking behaviors in light smokers. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
