A further examination of the validity of assessing demand intensity using the Cigarette Purchase Task.

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: s ≤ .038). Overall, this study demonstrates that CPT demand intensity often but modestly overestimates actual consumption, while nevertheless remaining equisensitive to differences in smoking risk as actual consumption, thereby supporting its utility and construct validity. Demand intensity overestimation is independently predicted by lighter smoking, younger age, and use of nonmentholated cigarettes. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved).
