We examined the impact of weight concern on post-cessation weight gain, abstinence and program engagement.<h4>Design</h4>Randomized-controlled trial.<h4>Setting</h4>Telephone-based and group-based intervention sessions.<h4>Subjects</h4>305 participants were randomized and analyzed.<h4>Intervention</h4>Participants were randomized to receive a self-guided intervention, a weight loss intervention, or a weight stability intervention prior to all receiving the same smoking cessation intervention.<h4>Measures</h4>Level of weight concern on three measures, point-prevalence abstinence, weight change, and session attendance at 12 months.<h4>Analysis</h4>Continuous and discrete outcomes were compared between weight-concerned and non-weight-concerned participants using two-sample t-tests and chi-square tests respectively.<h4>Results</h4>There were no significant differences in weight change (range: +1.77, -1.91 kg) when comparing weight-concerned and non-weight-concerned participants. Point-prevalence abstinence ranged from 36% to 64%, with no differences by condition based on level of weight concern.
