Abstract: INTRODUCTIONLong-term smoking cessation success rates without substantive intervention remain low.Some studies suggest an association between sociodemographic factors and tobacco cessation success.We explored US adult tobacco cigarette users' willingness-to-try diverse tobacco cessation methods by sociodemographics and tobacco use habits.METHODS We electronically surveyed a convenience sample of 562 US adults to explore willingness-to-try various cessation methods among those who reported current tobacco cigarette use.Participants rated their willingness-to-try different cessation methods.Logistic regression models examined associations between willingness-to-try tobacco cessation methods based on sociodemographic and tobacco use characteristics.RESULTS Non-Whites were more likely to report willingness-to-try counseling (RR=1.32,95% CI: 1.14-1.52)and those with high school education or less were less likely to report willingness-to-try counseling (RR=0.78,95% CI: 0.64-0.95).Those with lower income were less likely to report willingness-to-try any medication (RR=0.84,95% CI: 0.73-0.98)and any counseling (RR=0.82,95% CI: 0.67-0.99).High nicotine dependence was associated with a high likelihood of reporting willingness-to-try any evidence-based method (RR=1.07,95% CI: 1.04-1.10)and a history of quit attempts was associated with likelihood to report willingness-to-try any evidence-based method (RR=1.31,95% CI: 1.10-1.56).CONCLUSIONS Sociodemographics and nicotine dependence may affect preferences for tobacco cessation methods and should be considered when counseling patients on tobacco cessation.
