Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both self-reported cigarettes and carbon monoxide analysis are commonly used measures of smoking behavior and are therefore the most likely dependent variables in a smoking intervention. The other options, such as how fast Dawn could run or Sid's complaints, are not directly related to smoking behavior and are not as relevant for measuring the effectiveness of a smoking intervention. The $ reinforcer could potentially be a measure of cost savings from quitting smoking, but it is not a commonly used measure in smoking interventions.
