Social ecologies of vaping: A pattern oriented longitudinal qualitative analysis of lesbian, bisexual, and queer women’s changing e-cigarette use
Background E-cigarette use is common among lesbian, bisexual, and queer (LBQ) women, yet limited research has explored the influences on vaping practices in this group. This article draws on a longitudinal study of LBQ women’s nicotine use in Australia.Methods Using a social ecological model of health, we examine changes in vaping among 19 LBQ women and non-binary people aged 21–63 years. Participants took part in three semi-structured interviews…
Holding on to Hope”: Follow up qualitative findings of a tobacco treatment intervention for people experiencing mental health conditions
The Quitlink trial was registered with ANZCTR (www.anzctr.org.au): ACTRN12619000244101 prior to the accrual of the first participant and updated regularly as per registry guidelines
Psychological, social and cultural influences on smoking among lesbian, bisexual and queer women
This article identifies factors contributing to the ongoing socio-cultural relevance of smoking for some LBQ women in Australia. These specific psychological, social and cultural contexts remain salient for LBQ women's smoking and must be factored into smoking cessation campaigns and programme designs for this population. Tailored messaging that emphasises alternative self-care strategies and the benefits of quitting in the context of supportive …
A qualitative study of using nicotine products for smoking cessation after discharge from residential drug and alcohol treatment in Australia
Perceptions and Cultural Practices of Vaping Among Lesbian, Bisexual, and Queer Women in Australia
Background The rising prevalence of vaping poses new challenges and opportunities for health policy and public health interventions. Given that, historically, smoking has been more prevalent among lesbian, bisexual, and queer (LBQ) women than other women, this study explores LBQ women’s perceptions and experiences of vaping. Methods Sixty LBQ women and some non-binary people (aged 18–72) participated in in-depth qualitative interviews between May…
Using the Behaviour Change Wheel and modified Delphi method to identify behavioural change techniques for improving adherence to smoking cessation medications
The BCW guide and a modified Delphi were applied successfully to design interventions tailored to improve adherence to SCMs. Improving adherence to SCMs requires a comprehensive intervention approach involving various stakeholders. Future research is needed to assess the effectiveness of the nominated intervention strategies
The value of compassionate support to address smoking: A qualitative study with people who experience severe mental illness
The Quitlink trial was registered with ANZCTR (www.anzctr.org.au): ACTRN12619000244101 prior to the accrual of the first participant and updated regularly as per registry guidelines
Adapting Peer Researcher Facilitated Strategies to Recruit People Receiving Mental Health Services to a Tobacco Treatment Trial
The trial is registered with ANZCTR (www.anzctr.org.au): ACTRN12619000244101 prior to the accrual of the first participant and updated regularly as per registry guidelines. The trial sponsor was the University of Newcastle, NSW, Australia
Psychosocial Factors Affecting Smoking Cessation Among People Living With Schizophrenia: A Lived Experience Lens
Introduction: People living with schizophrenia smoke at much higher rates than the general population, and find it more difficult to quit. To date, lived experience has received little attention from researchers. Personal recovery perspectives may generate further insights into established psychosocial barriers and enablers of smoking cessation. Methods and Results: A lived experience account is provided by one of our authors that places the curr…
Quitlink”—A Randomized Controlled Trial of Peer Worker Facilitated Quitline Support for Smokers Receiving Mental Health Services: Study Protocol
Introduction: Although smokers with severe mental illnesses (SSMI) make quit attempts at comparable levels to other smokers, fewer are successful in achieving smoking cessation. Specialized smoking cessation treatments targeting their needs can be effective but have not been widely disseminated. Telephone delivered interventions, including by quitlines, show promise. However, few SSMI contact quitlines and few are referred to them by health profe…
Protocol for an Economic Evaluation of the Quitlink Randomized Controlled Trial for Accessible Smoking Cessation Support for People With Severe Mental Illness
Introduction: Smoking is a major cause of disease burden and reduced quality of life for people with severe mental illness (SMI). It places significant resource pressure on health systems and financial stress on smokers with SMI (SSMI). Telephone-based smoking cessation interventions have been shown to be cost effective in general populations. However, evidence suggests that SSMI are less likely to be referred to quitlines, and little is known ab…
The Role of Planning in Naturalistic Quitting Success Among People with Severe Mental Illness
The study protocol for a randomized controlled trial of a family-centred tobacco control program about environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) to reduce respiratory illness in Indigenous infants
Interventions aimed at reducing exposure of Indigenous children to ETS have the potential for significant benefits for Indigenous communities. There is currently a dearth of evidence for the effect of tobacco control interventions to reduce children's exposure to ETS among Indigenous populations. This study will provide high-quality evidence of the efficacy of a family-centred tobacco control program on ETS to reduce respiratory illness. Outcomes…
