title: Reliability and validity of the Glover-Nilsson smoking behavioral questionnaire.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To establish reliability/validity of the Glover-Nilsson Smoking Behavioral Questionnaire (GN-SBQ).
  
  
  METHODS
  The GN-SBQ and the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND) were completed by 100 smokers. The number of cigarettes smoked, smoking duration, and craving were obtained.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The GN-SBQ was internally consistent (Cronbach α = .82), temporally stable (r = .86), and uncorrelated with FTND. There was a significant main effect for craving, F(3, 73) = 14.68, p < .001; and the GN-SBQ was a significant predictor of craving levels (β = .476, p < .001).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The GN-SBQ shows promise as a tool for distinguishing behavioral from physical nicotine dependence.
