WISDM information
Description

A multidimensional measure of tobacco dependence and smoking motives, using 68 responses to questions in 13 motivational areas that include emotional attachment to smoking, response to other smokers, smoking to relieve stress, smoking for mental stimulation, and smoking automatically. The Brief WIS-DM is comprised of 37 items that load onto 11 subscales. A study of the Brief WISDM (Smith et al, 2010) found good evidence it can be used in place of the original 68-item version if researchers desire to reduce participant assessment burden.
