Abstract
- A 2×2×2 factorial design with 64 clients compared the effects of Taste Satiation (TS) and Focused Smoking (FS) treatments, breath CO and spirograph testing feedback, and booster sessions available for 6 months posttreatment. TS tended to be more effective overall than FS, but the physiological testing and feedback combined with FS was as effective as TS alone. Booster sessions appeared to have a negative influence on maintenance of abstinence, but a positive influence on minimizing the daily smoking rate of recidivists through 3 months. Initial success in achieving abstinence was useful in predicting abstinence at 6 months.
