Although there has been a socioeconomic gradient in smoking prevalence, cessation, and disease burden for decades, these disparities have become even more pronounced over time. The aim of the current study was to develop test conceptual model mechanisms linking status (SES) cessation.The evaluated using latent variable modeling approach sample 424 smokers seeking treatment (34% African American; 33% Latino; White). Hypothesized included social support, neighborhood disadvantage, negative...
We evaluated the influence of financial strain on smoking cessation among Latino, African American, and Caucasian smokers predominantly low socioeconomic status.Smokers enrolled in a study (N = 424) were followed from 1 week prequit through 26 weeks postquit. conducted logistic regression analysis to evaluate association between baseline abstinence at postquit after control for age, gender, race/ethnicity, educational level, annual household income, marital status, number cigarettes smoked...
Despite substantial public health progress in reducing the prevalence of smoking United States overall, among socioeconomically disadvantaged adults remains high.To determine feasibility and preliminary effectiveness a novel smartphone-based cessation app designed for smokers.Participants were recruited from safety-net hospital clinic Dallas, Texas, followed 13 weeks. All participants received standard care (ie, group counseling pharmacotherapy) smartphone with Smart-T). The Smart-T prompted...
Smartphone apps for smoking cessation could offer easily accessible, highly tailored, intensive interventions at a fraction of the cost traditional counseling. Although there are hundreds publicly available apps, few have been empirically evaluated using randomized controlled trial (RCT) design. The Smart-Treatment (Smart-T2) app is just-in-time adaptive intervention that uses ecological momentary assessments (EMAs) to assess risk imminent lapse and tailors treatment messages based on...
Importance Socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals (ie, those with low socioeconomic status [SES]) have difficulty quitting smoking and may benefit from incentive-based cessation interventions. Objectives To evaluate the impact of incentivizing abstinence on among adults SES. Design, Setting, Participants This study used a 2-group randomized clinical trial design. Data collection occurred between January 30, 2017, February 7, 2022. included SES who were willing to undergo treatment....
Discrimination is a commonly perceived stressor among African Americans and Latinos, previous research has linked stress with substance dependence. Although studies have shown link between discrimination smoking, little known about the relationship nicotine A total of 2,376 American (33.4%; n = 794), Latino (33.1%; 786), White (33.5%; 796) smokers completed an online survey. Everyday experiences were described in by race/ethnicity. Covariate-adjusted linear regression analyses conducted to...
BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to prospectively examine the relationships between socioeconomic status (SES), demographic variables and mental health determine whether number life stressors mediated these relationships.
Background: Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) may elicit physical activity (PA) estimates that are less prone to bias than traditional self-report measures while providing context. Objectives: The objective of this study was examine the convergent validity EMA-assessed PA compared with accelerometry. Methods: participants self-reported their using International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) wore an accelerometer completing...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the role demographic, mental health, and substance use as risk factors for intimate partner violence (IPV). Data were derived from Wave II National Epidemiological Survey on Alcohol Related Conditions (2004-2005). Eligible participants ( N = 25,778) reported having an 1 year before survey. Clustered survey multivariate multinomial regression methods used assess episodes IPV. IPV victimization, perpetration, both victims/perpetrators assessed. Bivariate...
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...
Objectives. We evaluated the effectiveness of offering adjunctive financial incentives for abstinence (contingency management [CM]) within a safety net hospital smoking cessation program. Methods. randomized participants (n = 146) from Dallas County, Texas, Tobacco Cessation Clinic 2011 to 2013 usual care (UC; program; n 71) or CM (UC + 4 weeks incentives; 75), and followed 1 week before quit date through after date. A subset 128) was asked attend visit 12 scheduled Results. Participants...
Background: Mobile phone‒based real-time ecological momentary assessments (EMAs) have been used to record health risk behaviors, and antecedents those as they occur in near real time. Objective: The objective of this study was determine if intensive longitudinal data, collected via mobile phone, could be identify imminent for smoking lapse among socioeconomically disadvantaged smokers seeking cessation treatment. Methods: Participants were recruited into a randomized controlled trial at an...
Quitting smoking is a major life stressor that results in numerous aversive consequences, including persistently increased level of post-cessation negative affect and relapse. The identification factors may enhance behavioral emotional regulation after quitting be useful enhancing quit rates preventing One factor broadly linked with mindfulness. This study examined baseline associations mindfulness demographic variables, history, dependence, withdrawal severity, agency among 158 smokers...

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...
The prevalence of smoking, at-risk alcohol use, overweight/obesity, inadequate fruit and vegetable consumption, physical activity was examined among homeless adults. Desire to change these modifiable health risk factors the association between desire self-rated also were examined.A sample 394 adults completed computer-based questionnaires (read over headphones) that assessed sociodemographic characteristics, factors, address health.Participants primarily men (71.8%) African Americans...
Creating intervention messages for smoking cessation is a labor-intensive process. Advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) offer promising alternative automated message generation. Two critical questions remain: 1) How to optimize LLMs mimic human expert writing, and 2) Do LLM-generated meet clinical standards? We systematically examined the generation evaluation processes through three studies investigating prompt engineering (Study 1), decoding optimization 2), review 3). employed...
Background Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) is a measurement methodology that involves the repeated collection of real-time data on participants’ behavior and experience in their natural environment. While EMA allows researchers to gain valuable insights into dynamic behavioral processes, need for frequent self-reporting can be burdensome disruptive. Compliance with protocols important accurate, unbiased sampling; yet, there no “gold standard” study design promote compliance. Objective...
