Health and lifestyle behaviors in colorectal cancer survivors with and without Lynch syndrome
The role of BMI change on smoking abstinence in a sample of HIV-infected smokers
The prevalence of cigarette smoking among persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) is approximately 40%, significantly higher than that of the general population. Identifying predictors of successful smoking cessation for PLWHA is necessary to alleviate the morbidity and mortality associated with smoking in this population. Weight gain has been associated with smoking relapse in the general population, but has not been studied among PLWHA. Data from …

The influence of HIV disease events/stages on smoking attitudes and behaviors
By evaluating events/stages of HIV disease as potential teaching moments for smoking cessation, findings from this study could be used to develop treatments tailored to an individual's stage of HIV disease. This study design will enable us to carefully track changes in smoking behavior over time, and to link these changes to both the course of HIV disease and/or to the participant's' perceived impact of HIV. By identifying optimal time points for…
Cervical Cancer Screening Adherence among HIV-Positive Female Smokers from a Comprehensive HIV Clinic
Impact of tobacco control policy on quitting and nicotine dependence among women in five European countries
Respondents from countries with stronger tobacco control policies were more likely to have quit smoking compared with those living in the Czech Republic. However, respondents in countries with some of the strongest policies (Ireland, Sweden, France and Italy) had higher odds of smoking within 30 min of waking, an established indicator of nicotine dependence. More research in this area is warranted, but this study suggests that now that the Czech …
Determinants of smoking initiation among women in five European countries
In all five participating countries, friends were the primary factor influencing ever smoking, especially among younger women. The majority of participants began smoking in adolescence and the average reported age of smoking initiation was youngest in Sweden and oldest in the Czech Republic
A social comparison theory analysis of group composition and efficacy of cancer support group programs
Assessing a conceptual framework of health-related quality of life in a HIV/Aids population
Validity of the household and leisure time activities questionnaire (HLTA) in a multiethnic HIV-positive population
As individuals with HIV/AIDS continue to have longer life expectancies, it is vital that other health outcomes, such as functional status, be considered. The purpose of this study was to explore the psychometric properties of a new functional status measure, the Household and Leisure Time Activities (HLTA) questionnaire, in a multiethnic low-income HIV/AIDS population. The HLTA is an 11-item questionnaire consisting of two scales designed to asse…
Facilitating smoking cessation in cancer patients
Smoking is directly attributable to almost one third of cancer deaths, including causal relationships with cancers of the lung, oral cavity, larynx, and oesophagus, and linkages to cancers of the bladder, pancreas, kidney, stomach, and uterine cervix.1 2Treating nicotine addiction is an obvious component of any disease management program for cancer patients, but also requires explicit and sensitive tailoring to meet patient needs. Lung cancer pat…
The Agency for Health Care Policy and Research Smoking Cessation Clinical Practice Guideline
Smoking is the leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality in the United States, and the health benefits of quitting smoking are substantial. Nevertheless, over 25% of American adults (48 million individuals) continue to smoke, and the vast majority of quit attempts are unsuccessful. The Agency for Health Care Policy and Research recently addressed the smoking problem by conducting a 2-year research project that was published as the Smok…
Smoking Cessation 3
Smoking is the primary preventable cause of mortality and morbidity in our society, killing more than 430,000 people each year--more than 1,000 a day. Despite this deadly record, the treatment of nicotine dependence has not been integrated into routine medical care. Although professionals from many healthcare fields can be effective providers of smoking cessation treatment, relatively few actually advise patients to quit smoking; and even fewer a…
Panel discussion
Effective clinical treatment of tobacco ad diction is a necessary component of our overall national tobacco policy. While frequently
Panel discussion
For those of you who don't know, in California we had a 25 cent increase in the price of a packet of cigarettes with Proposition 99 in November 1988. Twenty percent of these revenues were earmarked for Health Edu cation, Prevention & Cessation efforts. How ever, we were unable to get expenditure authority from the legislature for nearly a year
Debunking myths about self-quitting
This article examines data from 10 longterm prospective studies (N greater than 5,000) in relation to key issues about the self-quitting of smoking, especially those discussed by Schachter. When a single attempt to quit was evaluated, self-quitters' success rates were no better than those reported for formal treatment programs. Light smokers (20 or less cigarettes per day) were 2.2 times more likely to quit than heavy smokers. The cyclical nature…
