Rowley, R.N., Ph.D. CHALLENGES OF SMOKING CESSATION RESEARCH IN MONGOLIA by CAROL M. ROWLEY A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Nursing K. Lynn Wieck, Ph.D., Committee Chair College of Nursing and Health Sciences The University of Texas at Tyler May 2013 May 2013 © Copyright by Carol M. Rowley, 2013 All rights reserved Acknowledgements I would like to take the opportunity to express gratitude to a few of the many who have made completion of this effort possible. First, I would like to thank Jesus Immanuel, who has indeed never left me, failed me, or forsaken me through the long hours and years of my doctoral studies. I would also like to thank B. Oyunbileg (“Bilgee”), my translator, colleague, and friend. Bilgee cheerfully volunteered countless hours not only in translation but also in a variety of other services. It is likely that without her assistance this study would not have been feasible. Certainly, without my research assistants, A. Amarjargal, C. Baljinnyam, D. Baacanjargal, E. Gerelmaa, L. Khishigsuren, P. Mungunsukh, and T. Gantsetseg, this research would have been impossible. I am grateful for the hours they invested in training as well as in counseling study participants. I also realize that without the administration and nursing faculty of the University of Texas at Tyler creating their online PhD in Nursing program, this research would have never even begun. In particular, I would like to thank my adviser, Dr. K. Lynn Wieck, for her helpful guidance and encouragement to me throughout the program as well as during this research project. She and the remainder of my dissertation committee (Elaine Ballard, D.N.P., Peggy Landrum, Ph.D., and Susan Yarbrough, Ph.D.) have been a great support to me through this process. Finally, I would also like to express gratitude to the Mary Coulter Dowdy Distinguished Nursing Professorship for funding costs of cotinine testing supplies for this study.
