TABLE 2.

Patient reports on secondary study outcomes (attempt to quit smoking, point prevalence abstinence) at follow-up week 4, 12 and 26, stratified by pre/post data collection period and by training method of the GP they had consulted at baseline; and associations of these outcomes with training (post versus pre) and its interaction with the training method (ABC versus 5As by post versus pre); imputed data

Data are presented as imputed percentages, adjusted odds ratios (aOR), and adjusted ratios of the odds ratios (aROR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) around aOR and aROR. Since multiple imputation was used, no absolute numbers are reported within this table.

#Logistic regression models with a fixed effect for time (post- versus pre-training) and random intercepts and slopes (for the time effect) for the practices; for the ABC versus 5As comparison: the group variable (ABC versus 5As training) and its interaction with time were added to the models as fixed effects; both models were adjusted for patients’ sex, age, level of education, time spent with urges to smoke and strength of urges to smoke (Strength of Urges to Smoke Scale [25]).
