Note. ROC = receiver operating characteristics; CO level = carbon monoxide level in ppm; COT= cotinine; CPD = cigarettes smoked per day; AUC = area under the curve; CI = confidence interval; sens = sensitivity (i.e., proportion of smokers accurately identified; positive outcome); spec = specificity (i.e., proportion of nonsmokers accurately identified; negative outcome); eff = efficiency (i.e., weighted average of sensitivity and specificity taking into account disease prevalence); P = prevalence of smoking within sample.

*Significantly different at p < .002.

**Significantly different at p < .001.
