2018, Contemporary Clinical Trials CommunicationsCitation Excerpt :A total score is computed from the responses to these items. Smoking for the purpose of controlling body weight was assessed using the Smoking Situations Questionnaire (SSQ) [70]. The SSQ is scored using six-point Likert scales ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 6 (strongly agree).
Postcessation weight gain concern as a barrier to smoking cessation: Assessment considerations and future directions
2018, Addictive BehaviorsCitation Excerpt :Confusion in accurately assessing and discussing postcessation weight gain concern may stem from using phrasing like “smoking-specific” or “smoking-related weight concern” vs. “postcessation weight gain concern.” The former terms reflect smoking to control weight/eating (e.g., Weekley, Klesges, & Reylea, 1992) whereas the latter reflects anxiety/concern about postcessation weight gain. Many postcessation weight gain concern measures also use only one item, likely limiting reliability.

2016, Addictive BehaviorsCitation Excerpt :Smoking behavior among certain populations (e.g., particularly among female smokers) has been shown to be motivated by beliefs that it helps to control eating and weight (Bush et al., 2009; Clark et al., 2006; Nademin et al., 2010). Among smokers, those who are concerned about post-cessation weight gain are less likely to intend to quit, more likely to drop out of smoking cessation treatment, and less likely to maintain abstinence (Copeland, Martin, Geiselman, Rash, & Kendzor, 2006; Jeffery, Hennrikus, Lando, Murray, & Liu, 2000; Weekley, Klesges, & Reylea, 1992). Smokers may exhibit higher rates of eating pathology and body dissatisfaction than non-smokers (Kendzor, Adams, Stewart, Baillie, & Copeland, 2009), and those who smoke specifically to control weight and shape are especially likely to have higher levels of disordered eating (Fairweaither-Schimidt & Wade, 2014).
Testing the efficacy of yoga as a complementary therapy for smoking cessation: Design and methods of the BreathEasy trial
2014, Contemporary Clinical TrialsCitation Excerpt :Perceived risk related to smoking is measured through 7 items developed in previous studies [45] that ask participants to rate their chances of getting smoking related illnesses (lung cancer, other lung diseases, heart disease), their risk compared to other smokers, and the degree to which they worry about their health because of smoking. We use the 7-item Smoking Situations Questionnaire (SSQ) developed by Weekley and colleagues [46] to assess the degree to which individuals are motivated to smoke in order to control their weight. Social support for quitting smoking is assessed using the SFQ [47].
