Mental health and/or substance use issues are associated with significant disparities in morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to identify the mechanisms underlying poor primary care access for population. This a community-based participatory action qualitative study, which 85 adults who self-identified as having serious mental issue 17 service providers from various disciplines worked population participated semi-structured interview. Client, provider system barriers were...
A meta-analysis of 20 manuscripts reporting on 21 unique studies ( N = 19,623) was conducted to investigate the magnitude association between adolescent romantic relationship quality (RRQ), breakups (RRB) and mental health outcomes (i.e., depression, suicide ideation, deliberate self-harm, attempt). Potential moderators these relationships were also explored. The sample included U.S. non-U.S. adolescents (13–17 years old), young adults (18–29 old). Results indicated statistically significant...
Cancer patients who continue smoking are at increased risk for adverse outcomes including reduced treatment efficacy and poorer survival rates. Many spontaneously quit after diagnosis; however, relapse is understudied. The goal of this study was to evaluate smoking-related, affective, cognitive, physical variables as predictors surgical among with lung cancer head neck cancer. A longitudinal conducted 154 (57% male) recently smoking. Predictor were measured baseline (ie, time surgery);...
There has been growing interest in the role that implicit processing of drug cues can play motivating use behavior. However, extent to which cue biases relate exhibited other types evocative stimuli is largely unknown. The goal present study was determine how cognitive smoking relates affective using a novel paradigm.Smokers (n = 50) and nonsmokers 38) completed picture-viewing task, participants were presented with series smoking, pleasant, unpleasant, neutral images while engaging...
Abstract Introduction High rates of tobacco use among people with serious mental illness (SMI), along their unique needs, suggest the importance developing tailored smoking cessation interventions for this group. Previous early-phase work empirically validated design and content Learn to Quit, a theory-based app designed population. Methods In pilot randomized controlled trial, we compared feasibility, acceptability, preliminary efficacy Quit versus QuitGuide, an general All participants...
Historically, researchers have proposed higher-order factors to explicate the structure of psychopathology, including Externalizing, Internalizing, Fear, Distress, Thought Disorder, and a general factor. Despite extensive research in this domain, underlying psychopathology remains unresolved. Here, we examine several issues adjudicating among structural models psychopathology. Using simulations analyses extant literature, contrast model-based reliability alternative highlight shortcomings...
An extensive literature documents a close association between cigarette and alcohol use. The joint pharmacological effects of nicotine on smoking drinking motivation may help explain this relationship. This experiment was designed to test the separate combined low dose (equivalent 1-2 standard drinks) substance use using double-blind fully crossed within-subjects design. Participants (N = 87) with wide range patterns completed 4 counterbalanced experimental sessions during which they...
Tobacco causes 29% of cancer-related deaths while alcohol 5.5% deaths. Reducing the consumption these cancer-causing products is a special priority area for National Cancer Institute. While many factors are linked to tobacco and use, placement density retail outlets within neighborhoods may be one community-level risk factor contributing greater use products. To elucidate associations between tobacco, alcohol, (TRO, ARO, TARO) neighborhood disadvantage over large geographic area, we employed...
Adults experiencing homelessness have much higher rates of alcohol misuse than housed individuals. This study describes the development and preliminary effectiveness a smartphone-based, just-in-time adaptive intervention (JITAI) to reduce use among adults homelessness.We conducted pilot trial (N = 41; mean age [SD] 45.2 [11.5]; 19.5% women) Smart-T Alcohol JITAI where participants completed brief ecological momentary assessments (EMAs) each day, received personalized treatment messages...
Fueled by rapid technological advances over the past decade, there is growing interest in use of smartphones to aid smoking cessation. Hundreds applications have been developed for this purpose, but little known about how these are accessed and used smokers or what features believe would be most useful. The present study sought understand prevalence smartphone ownership patterns among as well perceived utility various application cessation that currently development already available. Daily...
Abstract Introduction Identifying healthcare utilization and costs associated with active passive smoking during pregnancy could help improve health management strategies. Aims Methods Data are from the Newborn Epigenetics STudy (NEST), a birth cohort enrolled 2005 to 2011 in Durham adjacent counties North Carolina, United States. Participants included those for whom prenatal serum samples were assayed administrative data obtainable (N = 1045). Zero-inflated poisson regression models used...
An estimated 35-50% of lung and head neck cancer patients are smoking at diagnosis; most try to quit; however, a substantial proportion resumes smoking. As treatments improve, attention the effects continued on quality life in survivorship period is increasing. The current study examines if abstinence following surgical treatment associated with better life. Participants were 134 or who received treatment. Smoking status indices (depressive symptoms, fatigue, pain) assessed time surgery...
Understanding the mechanisms by which bupropion promotes smoking cessation may lead to more effective treatment. To extent that reduced reinforcement is one such mechanism, a longer duration of pre quit treatment should promote extinction behavior. We evaluated whether 4 weeks (extended run-in) results in greater reductions rate and cotinine and, secondarily, short-term abstinence, than standard 1 week (standard run-in). Adult smokers (n = 95; 48 females) were randomized run-in group 48;...
Despite decades of work, the relationship between drug cues and actual use remains unclear. One promising area research that may help explain this disconnect is role cognitive processing cues, including attentional bias. This study utilized a visual search task has previously been used to examine bias in anxiety eating disorders, but was modified assess for smoking cues. The completed by 106 participants (42.5% female), divided among three groups: smokers who continued ad libitum, had...
