Treatment for co-occurring posttraumatic stress disorder and substance use disorders among veterans and civilians
Findings lend support for delivering trauma-focused psychotherapies to patients with PTSD + SUD, especially veterans, and point to important future directions for inquiries into optimizing patient matching to PTSD + SUD treatment. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved)
Methodological Investigation of Time Perspective Scoring and Quality of Life among Individuals with Multiple Sclerosis
Achieving and maintaining a high quality of life following the diagnosis of chronic illness has a positive impact on the experience of illness, including delayed disease progression and fewer relapses. Time perspective has shown promising relationships with quality of life, though studies using the construct in samples with chronic illness are sparse and methodologically heterogeneous. Participants ( n = 123) were diagnosed with relapsing-remitti…
Internal Validity of Two Promising Methods of Altering Temporal Orientation among Cigarette Smokers
Relapse to smoking continues to be among the most urgent global health concerns. Novel, accessible, and minimally invasive treatments to aid in smoking cessation are likely to improve the reach and efficacy of smoking cessation treatment. Encouraging prospection by decreasing delay discounting (DD) is a new therapeutic target in the treatment of smoking cessation. Two early-stage interventions, delivered remotely and intended to increase prospect…
Increasing Physical Activity among Breast Cancer Survivors by Modulating Temporal Orientation with rTMS
Maintaining adequate amounts of physical activity is a critical component of survivorship care for women with breast cancer. Increased physical activity is associated with increases in well-being, quality of life, and longevity, but women with cancer face unique, cancer-related factors that might affect physical activity. Consistent with the Competing Neurobehavioral Decision Systems model of decision making, we proposed to decrease delay discoun…
Future Thinking Priming Especially Effective at Modifying Delay Discounting Rates among Cigarette Smokers
FTP had a greater effect on decreasing DD rates among smokers than nonsmokers. FTP is effective and simple to administer, which makes it a promising therapeutic approach for aiding smoking cessation
Exploring the Role of Traumatic Event Exposure in Tobacco Dependence Treatment Outcomes Among African Americans
African Americans are more likely to die from tobacco-related diseases and less likely to quit smoking than their white counterparts. Evidence of greater prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among African Americans underscores the importance of studying the effects of traumatic event exposure on tobacco dependence treatment outcomes in this group. In this secondary analysis of data from a previously completed randomized control tria…
The association between gender roles and smoking initiation among women and adolescent girls
Smoking cigarettes is a leading global cause of preventable death and disease. Men historically smoke more than women, but the prevalence of smoking among women in low and middle-income countries is increasing at an alarming rate. Understanding the factors that influence smoking initiation among women and girls is needed to address the growing epidemic of women smokers and the looming impact on women's health worldwide. We assume that smoking ini…
Direct and Indirect Effects of Cumulative Trauma, PTSD, and Substance Use Disorder on Probability of Arrest Among Lower Income African American and Latina Women
We conducted a secondary analysis of cross-sectional data to examine the association of cumulative trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and substance use disorder (SUD) with the probability of arrest in a sample of socioeconomically disadvantaged African American and Latino mothers ( N = 158). Results revealed that 34% of the sample had a history of arrest. Logistic regression revealed that cumulative trauma was significantly and positi…
