Based on stepwise selection of predictors, with the exception of protocol variable, which was forced into each model. Predictors included age, sex, race, years of education, income, age at onset of alcohol dependence, lifetime diagnosis of a substance use disorder, lifetime conduct disorder, family history of smoking, and ADHD symptom total. Cigarettes per day and nicotine dependence were included as predictors only in the regression analyses to predict postcessation concentration problems and successful quitting.
