Note:
Total Sample is the total number of unique cases in Waves 2 and 3 that are smokers only
a Some characteristics have missing values if they were not reported at time of entry into the study (percentages take into account missing data).
b Results are unweighted but the survey design was accounted for in the analysis. All tests are the Rao-Scott χ2 test unless otherwise indicated.
Previous quit attempts: ever tried to quit in the past, even if just once, versus never having tried to make an attempt to quit smoking.
p-values estimate characteristic differences between Montevideo and Inland city residents.
