许多不同学科的研究人员已经制定了戒烟干预措施。因此，开发并采用了各种不同的结果测量方法。本文将报告一项分析，根据三项基于人群的研究收集的数据，比较四种戒烟结果指标：(1) 24 小时点流行率戒烟，(2) 7 天点流行率戒烟，(3) 30 天长期戒烟，以及 (4) 6 个月长期戒烟。这三项研究总共提供了前三项措施的 41 个平均估计值，但仅提供了 6 个月长期禁欲措施的 28 个平均估计值。数据表明所有四项指标之间存在极高的相关性。前三项指标（24 小时点流行率、7 天点流行率和 30 天长期禁欲）彼此之间的相关性均超过 0.98。唯一未表现出相同程度的几乎完全等同性的指标是 6 个月长期禁欲，但即使在此，与其他三项指标的相关性也最低为 0.82。出于实际目的，前三项措施在用作戒烟研究的结果措施时将得出相同的结论。 (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Interventions for smoking cessation have been developed by researchers in a number of distinct disciplines. As a result, a variety of different outcome measures have been developed and employed. This paper will report an analysis that compares four-smoking cessation outcome measures on data gathered from three population-based studies: (1) 24-hour point prevalence abstinence, (2) 7-day point prevalence abstinence, (3) 30-day prolonged abstinence, and (4) 6-month prolonged abstinence. The three studies provided a total of 41 mean estimates for the first three measures but only 28 mean estimates for the 6-month prolonged abstinence measure. The data demonstrate an extremely high relationship between all four measures. The first three measures (24-hour point prevalence, 7-day point prevalence, and 30-day prolonged abstinence) all correlated in excess of .98 with each other The only measure that did not demonstrate the same degree of almost perfect equivalence was 6-month prolonged abstinence, but even here the lowest correlation with the other three measures was .82. For practical purposes, the first three measures will result in the same conclusions when used as outcome measures in smoking cessation studies. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
