Evaluating the predictive value of measures of susceptibility to tobacco and alternative tobacco products
2019, Addictive BehaviorsCitation Excerpt :The “susceptibility to smoking index” (Choi, Gilpin, Farkas, & Pierce, 2001; Jackson, 1998; Nodora et al., 2014; Pierce, Choi, Gilpin, Farkas, & Merritt, 1996; Pierce, Distefan, Kaplan, & Gilpin, 2005; Strong et al., 2015; Unger, Johnson, Stoddard, Nezami, & Chou, 1997) has been widely accepted as a measure used to estimate elevated risk of future initiation of combustible cigarettes, and has historically been used in numerous cross-sectional studies to provide timely results on risk factors for cigarette initiation, when prospective data are not available (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2014; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2016).

2018, Drug and Alcohol DependenceCitation Excerpt :Instead, the use of the susceptibility index in combination with history of alternative tobacco product use or immersion in a tobacco-friendly social environment may more accurately identify any youth at risk of smoking initiation. The susceptibility to cigarette smoking measure was first developed in the mid-1990s (Pierce et al., 1996); since then, several studies have been conducted to examine the performance of these measures, with inclusion of an item assessing curiosity, found to increase the sensitivity of the susceptibility index (Choi et al., 2001; Jackson, 1998; Nodora et al., 2014; Pierce et al., 1996; Pierce et al., 2005; Strong et al., 2014; Unger et al., 1997). Compared to the initial validation study, results from the current study examining the utility of cigarette susceptibility show generally similar sensitivity (46.4% in our study, compared to 51.5% in the initial validation study) and specificity (79.0% in our study, compared to 72.4% in the initial validation study) (Pierce et al., 1996).
