Smoking consequences questionnaire - Spanish

A total of 212 Spanish smokers completed a Spanish version of a smoking que stionnaire based on the Smoking Consequences Questionnaire-Adult (A. L. Cop eland, T. H. Brandon, & E. P. Quinn, 1995) and a nicotine dependence (ND) m easure. Confirmatory factor analysis results supported an a priori defined 8-factor structure. The results also indicated good internal consistency fo r the instrument and the scales derived from each factor. Positive outcome smoking expectancies scales were significantly and substantially associated with ND scores. Also, after controlling for the influence of ND, the autho rs found higher smoking expectancies in women than in men in (a) weight con trol, (b) craving reduction and addictiveness, and (c) negative-affect redu ction. The results support the instrument's construct validity.
