The aim of the study was to check whether the degree of motivation to quit smoking is different depending on who refers the smoker to the smoking treatment consultation, considering three sources of remission (variable ‘referred by’): primary care (PC), medical specialist (OS) or by OFW. For this analysis, the subjects finally included were 292 [72.1%; 155 women (53.1%); mean age 51.1 ± 11.0 years (range: 25–77)]. Ninety-nine subjects (33.9%) attended our smoking clinics on PC advice, 116 (29.7%) subjects on OS advice, and 77 subjects (26.4%) on OFW. We have used four motivational tests to quit smoking (MTQS): Richmond Test (RT), the Henri Mondor Paris Motivation Test (HMPMT), Khiwji-Watts test (KWT) and the visual analogue scale (VAS)1.enAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Motivation scalesSmokingSmoking cessationVolitionSmokersMotivationSmoking CessationPersonal AutonomyPrimary Health Careresearch article35634095open accessMotivaciónAutonomía PersonalProteínas del Sistema ComplementoFumadoresTabaquismo10.18332/tid/1469611617-9625PMC9100290https://www.tobaccoinduceddiseases.org/pdf-146961-75803?filename=Is the motivation to quit.pdfhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9100290/pdf
