Area of Science:

  • Addiction Research
  • Behavioral Psychology
  • Nicotine Dependence

Context:

  • Assessing nicotine dependence is crucial for effective smoking cessation interventions.
  • The Fagerström questionnaire is a widely used, albeit lengthy, measure of nicotine dependence.
  • There is a need for brief, reliable tools to gauge smoking severity.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the relationship between the Fagerström questionnaire and the shorter Heatherton questionnaire for assessing nicotine dependence.
  • To determine the sensitivity and specificity of the Heatherton questionnaire compared to the Fagerström questionnaire.

Summary:

  • Two hundred and forty-eight smokers participated in this study.
  • A strong correlation was found between the Fagerström and Heatherton questionnaires, with 67% sensitivity and 90% specificity.

  • The Heatherton questionnaire, scoring 5-6 points, effectively identifies individuals with strong tobacco dependence.

    • Impact:

    • The findings support the use of the simplified Heatherton questionnaire for quickly assessing nicotine dependence.
    • This validated tool can help clinicians identify smokers who would benefit from interventions like nicotine gum or patches.
    • Facilitating smoking cessation through rapid assessment and targeted support.
