Our aim was to investigate the association between socioeconomic position (income and education) and abrupt versus gradual method of smoking cessation.
The analysis used data (n = 5,629) from Waves 1 through 6 (2002-2008) of the International Tobacco Control Four-Country Survey, a prospective study of a cohort of smokers in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia.
Logistic regression analyses using generalized estimating equations showed that higher income (p < .001) and higher education (p = .011) were associated with a higher probability of abrupt versus gradual quitting. The odds of adopting abrupt versus gradual quitting were about 40% higher among respondents with high income ($60,000 and more in the United States/Canada/Australia and £30,000 and more in the United Kingdom) compared with those with low income (less than $30,000 in the United States/Canada/Australia; £15,000 and less in the United Kingdom). Similarly, the odds of abrupt versus gradual quitting were about 30% higher among respondents with a high level of education (university degree) compared with those with a low level of education (high school diploma or lower).
Higher socioeconomic position is associated with a higher probability of quitting abruptly rather than gradually reducing smoking before quitting.
我们的目的是研究社会经济地位（收入和教育）与突然戒烟和逐渐戒烟方法之间的关系。
该分析使用了来自国际烟草控制四国调查的第 1 至 6 波（2002-2008 年）的数据（n=5629），这是一项对美国、加拿大、英国和澳大利亚的吸烟者队列进行的前瞻性研究。
使用广义估计方程的逻辑回归分析表明，较高的收入（p<0.001）和较高的教育程度（p=0.011）与突然戒烟而非逐渐戒烟的可能性更高相关。与低收入者（美国/加拿大/澳大利亚低于 30,000 美元；英国低于 15,000 美元）相比，高收入者（美国/加拿大/澳大利亚 60,000 美元及以上；英国 30,000 英镑及以上）采用突然戒烟而非逐渐戒烟的可能性高出约 40%。同样，与教育程度较低者（高中文凭或以下）相比，教育程度较高者（大学学位）突然戒烟而非逐渐戒烟的可能性高出约 30%。
较高的社会经济地位与戒烟前突然戒烟而不是逐渐减少吸烟的可能性更高相关。
