Supplementary Material for: Factor Analysis and Psychometric Properties of the Minnesota Nicotine Withdrawal Scale and the Minnesota Nicotine Withdrawal Scale-Revised: Italian Version A.Svicher A.Beghè G.Mangiaracina F.Cosci 2017 <p><b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> We run<b> </b>Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analyses of the Minnesota Nicotine Withdrawal Scale (MNWS) and of the MNWS-Revised (MNWS-R). Psychometric properties were also explored. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Adult Italian smokers, 366 in all, were assessed via the MNWS-R together with rating scales measuring cigarette dependence, alcohol use, anxiety sensitivity and negative affect at baseline and after 3 months. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The MNWS showed good psychometric properties (α = 0.85; rtt = 0.59) and a unidimensional factor structure. The 2-factor model of MNWS-R had the best fit and the factors were labelled psychological symptoms (α = 0.86; rtt = 0.59) and associated somatic features (α = 0.64; rtt = 0.45). <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> MNWS showed 1 factor; MNWS-R showed 2 relatively dependent factors. The results need to be replicated in smokers in withdrawal.</p>
