Latinx Individuals Who Smoke Daily with and without a Probable Anxiety Disorder: Differences in Smoking Behavior and Beliefs about Abstinence
There is a well-established relation between anxiety psychopathology and smoking in the general population. However, little work focuses on Latinx/Hispanic (hereafter Latinx) persons who smoke from this comorbidity perspective. The present investigation aimed to explore differences among English-speaking Latinx adults who live in the United States (US) and smoke cigarettes with and without a probable anxiety disorder in terms of cigarette depende…
Changes in the health status of newly housed chronically homeless: The Alaska Housing First program evaluation
The Housing First (HF) model is an evidence-based supportive housing initiative that provides permanent housing for the homeless without preconditions such as sobriety or treatment compliance. This three-year longitudinal study investigated the effects of Alaska's inaugural Housing First projects in Anchorage and Fairbanks on local service usage, costs and tenant quality of life (QoL). A total of 94 tenants participated at baseline in the QoL stu…
The Efficacy of Vigorous-Intensity Exercise as an Aid to Smoking Cessation in Adults With High Anxiety Sensitivity: A Randomized Controlled Trial
OBJECTIVES: High anxiety sensitivity predicts poor smoking cessation outcomes. Aerobic exercise reduces anxiety sensitivity and aspects of the risk conferred by anxiety sensitivity. In the current study, we examined whether exercise can aid smoking cessation in adults with high anxiety sensitivity. METHODS: Participants were sedentary and low-activity adult daily smokers (n = 136) with elevated prescreen anxiety sensitivity. Participants received…
Tobacco use and cessation in psychiatric disorders: National Institute of Mental Health report
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) convened a meeting in September 2005 to review tobacco use and dependence and smoking cessation among those with mental disorders, especially individuals with anxiety disorders, depression, or schizophrenia. Smoking rates are exceptionally high among these individuals and contribute to the high rates of medical morbidity and mortality in these individuals. Numerous biological, psychological, and soci…
The Relationship among Negative Affect, Distress Tolerance, and Length of Gambling Abstinence Attempt
Substance Use Disorder Characteristics and Externalizing Problems Among Inpatient Adolescent Smokers
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and/or conduct disorder (CD) have been found to be associated with substance use disorders and cigarette smoking among adolescents. However, studies have often failed to explore these relationships among females from a dimensional perspective, taking into account comorbidity between ADHD and CD symptomatology, and examining ADHD symptom subtypes (i.e., inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity) sepa…
Effects of motivational interviewing on smoking cessation in adolescents with psychiatric disorders
The positive effect of MI on self efficacy for quitting and the increase in intention to change in those with initially low levels of intentions suggest the benefits of such an intervention. However, the effects on these variables were relatively modest and only moderately related to outcome. The lack of overall effect of MI on smoking cessation outcomes suggests the need to further enhance and intensify this type of treatment approach for adoles…
Evaluation of a behavioral measure of risk taking: The Balloon Analogue Risk Task (Bart).
The present study (N = 86) sought to evaluate a laboratory-based behavioral measure of risk taking (the Balloon Analogue Risk Task; BART) and to test associations between this measure and self-report measures of risk-related constructs as well as self-reported real-world risk behaviors. The BART evidenced sound experimental properties, and riskiness on the BART was correlated with scores on measures of sensation seeking, impulsivity, and deficien…
Marital Violence Victimization and Perpetration Among Women Substance Abusers: A Descriptive Study
This study reports descriptive data assessing the impact of an intensive outpatient treatment for alcohol dependence on alcohol use, marital violence, psychological abuse, and marital satisfaction among 10 heterosexual female patients and their partners. Patients received 5 to 6 days of substance abuse treatment in a partial hospital program. Patient and partner assessments were conducted at baseline, 6-month follow-up, and 12-month follow-up. Re…
Theory and Practice of Regulatory Enforcement: Occupational Health and Safety Regulation in British Columbia
Data about the activities of occupational health and safety officials in British Columbia is utilized to explore competing explanations for the overwhelming prevalence of persuasion over punishment in regulatory enforcement. By plotting the compliance histories of individual firms, this study demonstrates that many offenders repeatedly commit the same infraction. Few of these repeat offenders are punished. These findings suggest that the very lim…
Understanding reactions to feedback by integrating ideas from symbolic interactionism and cognitive evaluation theory
The first 2 experiments examined how interpersonal and objective feedback influenced targets' perceptions of performance, ability, and effort. Interpersonal feedback was more influential when objective feedback was intermediate than when it was high or low. Path analyses indicated that reflected appraisals entirely mediated influences of interpersonal feedback on self-perceptions and partially mediated influences of objective feedback on self-per…
Agoraphobia with and without Current Panic Attacks
MMPI and SCL-90-R profiles of agoraphobics with and without current panic attacks are presented. Agoraphobics with current panic attacks were more elevated on Psychopathic Deviate (4), Psychasthenia (7), and Social Introversion (0) scales of the MMPI. On the SCL-90-R agoraphobics with current panic attacks had higher scores on Interpersonal Sensitivity, Anxiety, Phobic Anxiety, and Total/90
Reliability and Validation of a Psychiatric Assessment Instrument for the Hospital Treatment of Adults
A psychiatric instrument, the Clinical Assessment Inventory, is an integral part of a comprehensive hospital treatment program for adults based upon behavioral technology ( 2 ) . The inventory was designed to provide a daily, quantitative, behavioral assessment of patients' progress when completed twice daily by nursing staff, once by the day shift and once by the evening shift. Each patient is observed during regularly scheduled nursing rounds a…
Nutrition Students vs Dieters on a Readiness-to-Diet Scale
This study was conducted to give empirical support to the conceptual basis of the Dash-Brown Survey of Fact and Fiction in Weight Reduction: successful dieters should have more similar scores to those of college students in nutrition than unsuccessful dieters. The scale has five subscales constructed on the hypothesis that successful dieters have more realistic and accurate information about food, weight loss, and the dieting process than unsucce…
Economic Worth of preventing death at different ages in developing countries
Public health programmes in less developed countries lack the resources to care for more than a very small fraction of their populations. Medical care is allocated almost by accident, with those living near a clinic usually obtaining the best care. Preferably, such care should be rationed among people according to a more explicit and justifiable criterion, and such a criterion could have an economic basis. Economically, it is more important to pr…
Old Age Security with Fewer Children
Less developed countries can promote reduced fertility and slower population growth while still supporting the idea of old age security through children. If parents have enough children to provide a high probability of one surviving until the father is age 65 they will have had many children even if the father has a vasectomy once having reached the larger family size. The interval between generations will be short and natural increase rapid. Ins…
