This proposed 2-year questionnaire study examines views and attitudes regarding health risks of cigarette smoking, smoking patterns and motivators for cessation in smokers who suffer from schizophrenia compared to a sample of smokers without a major psychotic disorder. The specific goals of this study are to 1) examine differences in the perceived consequences of smoking, smoking habits, and motivation to quit between adults with and without schizophrenia and 2) identify clinical and demographic variables (e.g., age, race, sex, age of smoking onset, knowledge of smoking consequences, insurance status, family support, co-occurring substance abuse, education level, current health status) associated with motivation to quit smoking among individuals with and without schizophrenia. This secondary goal is exploratory in nature. We will identify potential predictors in each group separately and also assess if these potential predictors differ between groups.
