Identifying attendance patterns in a smoking cessation treatment and their relationships with quit success.

ABSTRACT:

Background

While important for substance use outcomes, knowledge about treatment attendance patterns, and their relation with clinical outcomes is limited. We examined the association between attendance patterns and smoking outcomes in a randomized, controlled smoking cessation intervention trial.

Methods
