Cigarette Purchase Task

Cigarette Purchase Task. Cigarette purchase tasks cpts are relatively new behavioral economic assessments that efficiently quantify motivation for tobacco by assessing how much an individual values cigarettes. We have developed two versions of a purchase task for e cigarette use and compared the two versions in users of advanced generation e cigarette devices. The cigarette purchase task cpt is a behavioral economic simulation task in which participants estimate the number of cigarettes they would smoke across an increasing range of hypothetical monetary prices jacobs and bickel 1999.

Although a purchase task instrument such as the cigarette purchase task cpt provides a comprehensive and inexpensive way to assess various aspects of a drug s rre the application of conventional statistical methods to data generated from such an instrument may not be adequate by simply ignoring or replacing the extra zeros or missing values in the data with arbitrary small consumption values for example 0 001. The cigarette purchase task cpt is a behavioral economic simulation task in which participants estimate the number of cigarettes they would smoke across an increasing range of hypothetical monetary prices jacobs and bickel 1999. Note that the hypothetical purchase task prices were chosen to match the real and potentially real conditions as closely as possible. Simulated demand for cigarettes can be estimated using a cigarette purchase task cpt which allows for relatively efficient data collection by asking individuals to estimate their daily cigarette consumption at a broader range of prices than could be assessed in the natural economy mackillop et al 2012.

The hypothetical purchase task consumption was significantly correlated with consumption on the real and potentially real conditions for all prices except 1 00 per cigarette.

We have developed two versions of a purchase task for e cigarette use and compared the two versions in users of advanced generation e cigarette devices. After each week participants reported the number of cigarettes they actually smoked. Cigarette purchase task the cpt 10 is used to measure demand for tobacco over a wide range of prices. Although a purchase task instrument such as the cigarette purchase task cpt provides a comprehensive and inexpensive way to assess various aspects of a drug s rre the application of conventional statistical methods to data generated from such an instrument may not be adequate by simply ignoring or replacing the extra zeros or missing values in the data with arbitrary small consumption values for example 0 001.
