Predicted Probabilities (95% CI) of Smoking Cessation by Partnership/Partner Smoking, Health and Retirement Study 1992–2010 (N = 5,250)
| Partnership status and partner’s smoking | Predicted probability | 95% CI |
|---|---|---|
| Partnered in previous and current interview: partner relapses into smoking | 0.07 | (0.04–0.10) |
| Partnered in previous and current interview: partner smokes both interviews | 0.10 | (0.09–0.11) |
| Widowed since last interview: former partner smoker or non-smoker | 0.11 | (0.08–0.13) |
| Separated/Divorced since last interview: former partner smoker or non-smoker | 0.11 | (0.07–0.14) |
| Gained partner since last interview: new partner smoker or non-smoker | 0.11 | (0.07–0.15) |
| Unpartnered in previous and current interview | 0.13 | (0.12–0.14) |
| Missing partnership or partner smoking data in previous or current interview | 0.14 | (0.11–0.16) |
| Partnered in previous and current interview: partner non-smoker at both interviews | 0.16 | (0.15–0.17) |
| Partnered in previous and current interview: partner stops smoking | 0.38 | (0.34–0.42) |
Note: Predicted probabilities are calculated from multivariate model in Table 2, holding other covariates at mean levels.
