Table 4.

Associations between app usage during the first 30 days and smoking cessation outcomes from 30- and 90-day surveys for full trial participants. To provide meaningful comparisons, estimates are given for the third versus first quartiles of the main exposures. Influential observations removed: Results of sensitivity analyses (adjusted models).

aOR: odds ratio.

bModels adjusted for age, race, mental imagery, weight concern, and tobacco dependence.

cn: number of observations remaining after exclusion of influential observations.

dN/A: not applicable.

eResults were unreliable as nearly all (9 of 10) individuals with reported smoking cessation were flagged as influential.
