Categories | Baseline mean (SD) | Week 6 mean (SD) | Δ (Week 6–BL) Mean (SD) | p-value |
---|---|---|---|---|
Cigarettes,past 7 days | 84.7 (56.3) | 14.7 (23.2) | −70.0 (54.1) | < .001 |
E-cigarettes,past 7 daysc | 75.7 (62.1) | |||
Total consumption in cigequivalents (cig + e-cig) | 90.5 (61.0) | 5.8 (69.3) | .51 | |
Rate of substitution from cig to e-cigd | 79% (29%) |
a Calculated as the number of cigarettes reported in the previous week in the Timeline Follow-Back plus the cigarette equivalent in e-cigarette pods (one JUUL pod = 20 cigarettes, one pod = .57g) returned at the visit
b Of the 114 participants in the e-cigarette group that completed the week 6 visit (60 in KC, 54 in SD), 64 qualified as dual CC-EC users (35 in KC, 29 in SD) and were categorized separately from e-cigarette only and cigarette only participants at week 6
c Represented as cig equivalents. Participants returned JUUL pods at each follow-up visit. Returned pods were weighed and summed to derive the total grams of e-liquid consumed. From this, a calculation (one pod = .57 grams and is equivalent to 20 cigarettes) was applied to convert grams of e-liquid consumed into cigarette equivalents. 100% of pods distributed were returned
d Rate of substitution from cigarettes to e-cigarettes (i.e., conversion rate) represents the proportion of cigarettes that were replaced by e-cigarettes at Week 6, or in other words, the total proportion of total cigarette equivalents made up of e-cigarettes. For example, a conversion rate of 79% means that for dual users overall, 79% of their total consumption at Week 6 was derived from e-cigarettes
