“…Six psychological factors were assessed: stress (Cronbach’s ‘α’=0.79), depressive symptoms (α=0.75), novelty seeking (α=0.76), impulsivity (α=0.81), self-esteem (α=0.79) and distractibility (α=0.63) 21. Baseline waterpipe use frequency (less than weekly, weekly but not daily, daily), number of waterpipes (ie, heads) smoked in the past 30 days, and the usual length of a smoking session (<30 min, 30–60 min, >60 min) were obtained.…”
