As the prevalence of adolescent smoking and, notably, regular has increased over last decade, researchers and practitioners have called for a consideration treatment programs to promote cessation among adolescents who smoke.

The demographic composition of the US population is rapidly changing. As a result, pharmacists increasingly face need to interact effectively with and provide care for patients whose ethnic or cultural background may differ from their own. While schools implement curricula pharmacy students awareness, knowledge, communication skills they will in practice, few assessment tools exist evaluate impact effectiveness such training.To assess competency training course designed specifically...
ABSTRACT Within the framework of a computer-assisted smoking pevention and cessation program, high school students completed modified version Fagerström Tolerance Questionnaire (FTQ) as part two in-class computerized survey sessions (Sessions I II) spaced months apart. Seventy-eight 10th, 11th 12th grade smokers (at least 1 cigarette/week) who have both computer were included in analysis. Individuals changed number cigarettes smoked between Sessions II considered to shifted their "true...
Few studies have examined the long-term efficacy of computer-based smoking prevention and cessation programs. We analyzed impact A Smoking Prevention Interactive Experience (ASPIRE), a theoretically sound curriculum for high school students. Sixteen predominantly minority, inner-city schools were randomly assigned to receive ASPIRE or standard care (receipt National Cancer Institute's Clearing Air self-help booklet). total 1160 students, 1098 whom nonsmokers 62 smokers at baseline, included....
Pharmacists are uniquely positioned within the community to provide smoking cessation counseling their patients. However, pharmacists experience significant barriers providing counseling, including limited time, reimbursement, and training in techniques. We tested a computer-driven software system, "Exper_Quit" (EQ), that provided individually tailored interventions patients who smoke matching reports for help guide counseling. A two-phase design was used recruit an observation-only group...

Abstract Genome‐wide model free linkage analysis was conducted for nicotine dependence and tobacco use phenotypes in 607 members of 158 nuclear families consisting at least two ever smokers (100 or more cigarettes smoked lifetime). DNA from whole blood genotyped 739 autosomal microsatellite polymorphisms with an average inter‐marker distance 4.6 cM. A peak LOD score 2.7 observed on chromosome 6 scores the Fagerström Test Nicotine Dependence. Exploratory analyses were to determine whether...
