Method evidence record

QSU-Brief

The QSU-Brief is a 10-item self-report instrument that rapidly assesses the intensity of craving for cigarettes and the intention to smoke. Developed by Cox, Tiffany, and Christen in 1996, it is a brief version of the longer Questionnaire on Smoking Urges (QSU) and is widely used in smoking cessation treatment and research settings to measure one of the strongest predictors of smoking relapse. The QSU-Brief is also applicable, with adaptation, to other addictive substances.
