Logistic regression analyses of quit status as determined by rating scale scores alone, VS/fP values alone, and all measures combined. Comparison likelihood ratio χ2 test results were as follows: for rating scale score + VS/fP vs rating scale score, χ12=19.8, P < .001; for rating scale score + VS/fP vs VS/fP, χ32=4.3, P = .23. Likelihood ratio tests show that VS/fP significantly increases the predictive power of rating scale scores but that rating scale scores do not significantly supplement the predictive power of VS/fP values.
