Most people who smoke cigarettes are not willing (i.e., not ready) to make a quit attempt (QA) at any given time. Unfortunately, interventions intended to increase QAs and the success of QAs are only modestly effective. Identifying processes leading to QAs and quitting success could guide intervention development.This is a secondary analysis of a randomized factorial trial of 6 weeks of motivation-phase interventions among primary care patients (N=517) who were initially unwilling to quit but [...]
