Filter by:This project will develop and refine a computer-delivered integrated Personalized Feedback Intervention (PFI) that directly addresses smoking and distress tolerance. The PFI will focus on feedback about smoking behavior, distress tolerance, and adaptive coping strategies.
A total of 40 patients with CP (20 smokers (S+CP) and 20 nonsmokers (S-CP)) and 40 periodontally healthy subjects (20 smokers (S+PH) and 20 nonsmokers (S-PH)), comprising 80 subjects, were included in this study. Baseline GCF samples were obtained from all subjects and clinical periodontal measurements, including probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), plaque index (PI), and gingival index (GI), were recorded. In patients who had received initial periodontal therapy, GCF samples were obtained and all clinical periodontal measurements were recorded again during the 6th-8th weeks. GCF PGRP-1 levels were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Smokers living with HIV represent a major health disparity population in the United States and the world more generally. Major contributing factors to the maintenance and relapse of smoking among smokers living with HIV include increased exposure to multiple stressors associated with HIV, which often exacerbates anxiety/depression. In a previous project, the feasibility, acceptability, and initial efficacy of a 9-session, cognitive-behavioral-based intervention to address smoking cessation by reducing anxiety and depression via specific emotional vulnerabilities (anxiety sensitivity, distress tolerance, and anhedonia) was tested against an enhanced standard of care in a pilot randomized controlled trial (NCT01393301). It was found that when compared to a brief enhanced treatment as usual control, patients in the intervention achieved higher short-term and long-term smoking abstinence rates. In this project, the investigators seek to test this same intervention in a fully powered, 3-arm efficacy/effectiveness trial. The goal of this study is to randomize 180 smokers across three sites to test the efficacy/effectiveness of the intervention at increasing point prevalence abstinence by reducing anxiety and depression at a 1-month follow-up (the end of treatment timepoint/ approximately 1-month post quit day) and a 6-month follow-up (approximately 6-months post quit day).
The purpose of this study is to learn about discussion between clinicians and their patients related to lung screening. Survey answers will be collected from both clinicians and their patients.
This study is about investigating smoking and attempts to quit smoking in couples. Participation will help determine better treatment efforts for couples who want to quit smoking. All study procedures will be conducted remotely, allowing couples to interact with study personnel through zoom.
It has also been observed that exercise reduces weight gain up to two years after quitting. Weight gain is often mentioned as a reason not to quit smoking, or as a reason to start smoking again. In addition, exercise has many other general benefits for smokers who have quit. However, the focus of the current research is the evaluate the effect of Aerobic& Tai Chi exercise on cardiopulmonary endurance levels among the smoker students within the University of Lahore. On the basis of comparison between two techniques, the study further concludes the findings by highlighting the strength of each technique.
The study team will use a pre-post study design, in which data will be collected from 60 patients under "control" conditions (Phase I), whereby an iPad-delivered decision aid is implemented in the clinic to address only standard smoking cessation options (i.e., nicotine replacement therapy and approved prescription medications) with patients who are current smokers. After that, the iPad-delivered decision aid will be implemented with an additional 60 patients for the "intervention" condition (Phase II), whereby the decision aid will also address e-cigarettes, in addition to standard smoking cessation options.
This study evaluates clinical and radiographic parameters among riks factor groups in patients with periimplantitis. This study will also treat and evaluate the patients response before and after surgical treatment.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of changes in cigarette package color on smoking behaviors, harm exposure, and risk perceptions when using low nicotine content (LNC) cigarettes.
The purpose of this study is to learn what happens when people are given a free, 4-week, sample of varenicline, a smoking cessation medication. Investigators will look at quit attempts, changes in smoking, and attitude towards varenicline, in both smokers who want to quit and those who do not. Smoking use causes a number of deaths and diseases, including heart disease and cancer. All smokers are advised to quit. Varenicline (sometimes called Chantix), is a prescription medication approved by the US FDA. Many studies show that use of varenicline can help smokers quit smoking. Varenicline is a prescription medication, which usually means that people have to see a doctor to get it. This study examines a different way to deliver varenicline, delivered directly to participants for a few weeks, and without need to see a doctor. This method is called "varenicline sampling." The study is sponsored by the Hollings Cancer Center at the Medical University of South Carolina. The study is being done at the Medical University of South Carolina, but study recruitment is based state-wide, throughout South Carolina.
