Tobacco Control activites of primary-care physicians in the Community Intervention Trial for Smoking Cessation
The COMMIT intervention had a significant effect on some reported physician behaviours, office practices, and policies. However, most physicians still did not use state-of-the-art smoking intervention practices with their patients and there was little, or no, difference between patient reports of intervention activities of physicians in the Intervention and Comparison communities. Better systems and incentives are needed to attract physicians and…
Use of the nicotine skin patch by smokers in 20 communities in the United States, 1992-1993
The nicotine skin patch is a popular and effective means of smoking cessation. Use of the nicotine patch, especially by low-income smokers, could be increased by reducing the out-of-pocket expenditure required for smokers to get the product
Predictors of smoking cessation in a cohort of adult smokers followed for five years
Despite the fact that most smokers expressed a strong desire to stop smoking in 1988, the majority, especially the most dependent heavy smokers (>25 cigarettes/day), struggled unsuccessfully to achieve this goal
Menthol cigarette smoking in African Americans and whites
Smoking cessation factors among African Americans and whites. Commit Research Group
OBJECTIVES. This study was undertaken to explore smoking patterns and attitudes that influence smoking cessation and relapse among African Americans. METHODS. Baseline data from eight Community Intervention Trial for Smoking Cessation (COMMIT) sites were analyzed. RESULTS. Compared with Whites, African Americans who smoke less than 25 cigarettes per day were 1.6 times more likely to smoke within 10 minutes of awakening (a behavioral indicator of …

Suppression of responding during signaled and unsignaled shock
Suppression of responding during signaled and unsignaled shock
Effects of Response-Independent Electric Shock on Schedule-Induced Alcohol and Water Intake
In 3 experiments, food-deprived rats either lever-pressing for intermittent food pellets or obtaining them on free-fixed interval schedules displayed schedule-induced water and alcohol polydipsia. Concurrent response-independent electric shock attenuated water intake, shock intensities producing reductions in polydipsic water consumption had little effect upon alcohol intake, but shocks of sufficient intensity did attenuate post-pellet alcohol dr…
