We next tested the specific Ponatinib order hypothesis that women would be more responsive to bupropion than to NRT. Finally, we examined group differences in specific characteristics that may be related to cessation outcome such as smoking heaviness, tobacco dependence, and cessation medication adherence (assessed using counts of unused medication that participants in the Efficacy trial returned). Results Participants Efficacy sample Of the 1,504 participants in the Efficacy trial, 58.2% were women. Among the 873 women, 132 (15.1%) self-identified as Black and 48 (5.4%) reported having less than a high school education. The majority of the Efficacy sample self-identified as White (83.9%); 204 (13.6%) self-identified as Black, and 38 (2.6%) self-identified as another race. Of those who self-identified as Black, 32 (15.

8%) reported less than a high school education. Approximately 2.8% of participants reported that one of their parents was of Hispanic origin. With respect to education, 84 (5.6%) participants reported having less than a high school education, 353 (23.5%) reported having a high school education/general educational development certificate (GED), and 1,058 (70.3%) reported having more than a high school education. In the Efficacy sample, participants had a mean age of 44.7 (SD = 11.1), smoked 21.4 cigarettes per day (SD = 8.9), and had made 5.7 previous quit attempts (SD = 9.7). There was only one significant correlation between gender, race, and education: White smokers tended to have higher educational attainment (r = ?.15, p < .001).

Effectiveness sample Of the 1,346 participants in the Effectiveness trial, 55.9% were women. Among the women, 81 (10.8%) self-identified as Black and 89 (11.8%) reported having less than a high school education. In the Effectiveness sample, the majority self-identified as White (87.0%), 128 (9.5%) self-identified as Black, and 43 (3.2%) self-identified as another race. Of those who self-identified as Black, 28 (21.8%) reported having less than a high school education. Hispanic ethnicity was reported by 29 (2.1%) participants. With respect to education, 172 (12.8%) participants reported having less than a high school education, 597 (44.4%) reported having a high school education/GED, and 577 (42.9%) reported having more than a high school education. In the Effectiveness sample, participants had a mean age of 44.

3 (SD = 12.1), smoked 20.3 cigarettes per day (SD = 8.8), and had made 5.7 previous quit attempts (SD = 9.3). Again there Cilengitide was a small but significant correlation (r = ?.07, p < .01) between education and race such that White smokers tended to have higher educational attainment. Sample differences Independent samples t test and chi-square analyses suggested that compared with smokers in the Effectiveness sample, smokers in the Efficacy sample smoked significantly more cigarettes per day (mean difference = 1.17; t (2822.29) = ?3.54, p < .
