Given the actions of varenicline tartrate and bupropion hydrochloride sustained-release (SR) on neurobiological targets related to affect reward, it is thought that modulation nicotine withdrawal symptoms may contribute their effectiveness.
Identifying addicts with higher risk of relapse would provide the opportunity to implement individualized interventions and increase cessation success rates. Unfortunately, ability predict long-term drug treatments continues elude researchers. We tested whether brain responses emotional cigarette-related pictures were predictive abstain from smoking. Smokers interested in quitting (n=180) participated a smoking clinical trial. Before initiation any treatment, we recorded event-related...
Homeless adults are more likely to smoke tobacco and less successfully quit smoking than smokers in the general population, despite comparable numbers of cessation attempts desire quit. To date, studies that have examined homeless samples used traditional lab/clinic-based assessment methodologies. Real-time key variables may provide new insights into process quitting among smokers. The purpose current study was identify predictors a attempt using real-time methodology during 6 days prior...
Many marginalized groups smoke at higher rates and have greater difficulty quitting than less groups. Most research on smoking cessation inequities has focused a single sociodemographic attribute (eg, race or socioeconomic status), yet individuals possess multiple attributes that may increase risk. The current study used an intersectionality framework to examine how the interplay between impact outcomes.
Community engagement is critical to accelerate and improve implementation of evidence-based interventions reduce health inequities. Community-engaged dissemination research (CEDI) emphasizes engaging stakeholders (e.g., community members, practitioners, organizations, etc.) with diverse perspectives, experience, expertise provide tacit knowledge regarding the local context, priorities, needs, assets. Importantly, CEDI can help inequities through incorporating unique perspectives from...
<h3>Importance</h3> Lung cancer incidence and mortality disproportionately affect women racial/ethnic minority populations, yet screening guidelines for the past several years were derived from clinical trials of predominantly White men. To reflect current evidence, US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) has revised eligibility criteria, which may help to ameliorate sex- race/ethnicity–related disparities in lung screening. <h3>Objective</h3> determine changes associated with USPSTF...
To establish an enterprise initiative for improving health and care through interoperable electronic record (EHR) innovations.We developed a unifying mission vision, established multidisciplinary governance, formulated strategic plan. Key elements of our strategy include establishing world-class team; creating shared infrastructure to support individual innovations; developing implementing innovations with high anticipated impact clear path adoption; incorporating best practices such as the...
Laboratory studies have demonstrated that cigarette smokers react with significant subjective and autonomic responses (e.g., increased craving heart rate) in the presence of stimuli associated smoking. Although cue reactivity effects are typically robust, a number methodological considerations make interpretation design problematic. Previous research has paid scant attention to psychometric properties cues presented, standard would enhance comparison synthesis studies. In present study, we...
Abstract BACKGROUND: Radiotherapy (XRT) is effective as the primary treatment modality for laryngopharyngeal cancer; however, complications of XRT can result in significant morbidity. Few previous studies have examined effect continued smoking on XRT. The authors this report hypothesized that patients with cancer who successfully quit would fewer METHODS: All head and neck were smokers at time diagnosis referred prospectively to Tobacco Treatment Program (TTP). From group, received...
The reasons that some smokers find it harder to quit than others are unclear. Understanding how individual differences predict smoking cessation outcomes may allow the development of more successful personalized treatments for nicotine dependence. Theoretical models suggest drug users might be characterized by increased sensitivity cues and reduced nondrug-related natural rewards. We hypothesized baseline in brain rewards cigarette-related would outcome a attempt. Using functional magnetic...
Residential tobacco retail outlet (TRO) density and proximity have been associated with smoking behaviors. More research is needed to understand the mechanisms underlying these relations their potential relevance outside of residential setting. This study integrates ecological momentary assessment (EMA) geo-location tracking explore real-time associations between exposure TROs urges among 47 economically disadvantaged smokers in a cessation trial (59.6% female; 36.2% White). EMA data were...
Cancer patients who smoke are advised to quit smoking reduce treatment complications and future cancer risk. This study's main objective was evaluate the efficacy of a novel, presurgical cessation intervention in newly diagnosed scheduled for surgical hospitalization.We conducted parallel-arm, randomized controlled trial comparing our hospital-based, tobacco "best practices" model (BP; counseling nicotine replacement therapy) with BP enhanced by behavioral tapering regimen (scheduled reduced...
Objective: Smoking cessation is associated with improved health and reduced risk of disease. Understanding specific factors that are smoking important both for identifying those who may have the greatest difficulty quitting tailoring interventions accordingly. Low positive affect/anhedonia, a key transdiagnostic symptom several psychiatric disorders, lower levels in general population, but to date, few studies examined influencing among Spanish-speaking Mexican-American smokers. Methods: The...
ABSTRACT Addiction has been described as the pathological usurpation of neural mechanisms normally involved in emotional processing. Event‐related potentials (ERPs) can provide a non‐invasive index responses associated with processing emotionally relevant stimuli and serve tool for examining temporal spatial commonalities between intrinsically motivating drug cues. Before beginning smoking cessation program, 116 smokers participated laboratory session which dense‐array ERPs (129 sensors)...
This study explored some quandaries concerning craving and mood as motivators to smoke. Craving negative have long been associated with day-to-day smoking two of the primary motivational forces behind maintenance behavior, well significant barriers in smokers' attempts quit. remains a clinically relevant phenomenon, most smokers describing troublesome problem when quitting. Smokers' self-reports mood, an antecedent for smoking, are so robustly reported that many models nicotine dependence...
We used multimodal measurement to evaluate whether (a) nicotine dependence is associated with baseline and postquit negative affect craving, (b) smoking relapse greater craving than abstinence, (c) affect. Treatment-seeking smokers were randomly assigned either a brief behaviorally based smoking-cessation treatment condition or delayed control condition. Participants in the attended four assessment sessions, 4-5 days prequit (baseline), 1-2 postquit, 3-5 10-14 while controls sessions spaced...
Abstract Mobile sensor data-to-knowledge (MD2K) was chosen as one of 11 Big Data Centers Excellence by the National Institutes Health, part its Data-to-Knowledge initiative. MD2K is developing innovative tools to streamline collection, integration, management, visualization, analysis, and interpretation health data generated mobile wearable sensors. The goal big solutions being developed reliably quantify physical, biological, behavioral, social, environmental factors that contribute disease...
