Note: Effects were tested in a series of single mediator models. βapath = Estimate of the effect between social cohesion and the mediator. βbpath = Estimate of the effect between the mediator and continuous smoking abstinence through Post-Quit Month 6. 1 = The unstandardized indirect effect estimates in the sample. 2 = The standardized indirect effect estimates in the sample. SD = The standard deviation of the standardized indirect effect. BC 95% CI = Bias corrected 95% confidence interval. PME = Proportion of the Mediated Effect. Social Support = Interpersonal Support Evaluation List-12; Negative Affect = Positive and Negative Affect Scale, Negative Affect subscale; Positive Affect = Positive and Negative Affect Scale, Positive Affect subscale; Stress = Perceived Stress Scale. All analyses were adjusted for age, gender, total annual household income, educational level, employment status, partner status, tobacco dependence, time, and treatment group.
