Primary | Change in 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) Following Smoking Cessation (While Taking Arenicline and Hydroxyzine). | Stress levels in the last 30 days will be measured using the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10). The PSS-10 uses a 5-point scale (0 - never, 1 = almost never, 2 = once in a while, 3 = often, 4 = very often). Total scores range from 0 to 40.
Scores ranging from 0-13 would be considered low stress. Scores ranging from 14-26 would be considered moderate stress. Scores ranging from 27-40 would be considered high perceived stress. |
Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 | |
Primary | Changes in Anxiety Using the 6-item State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) | Trait and state anxiety levels will be monitored for changes using the 6-item State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). All items are rated on a 4-point scale ("1-Almost Never" to "4-Almost Always"). The range of scores is from 6 to 24. Higher scores indicate greater anxiety. | Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 | |
Primary | Changes in Depression Using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) | Depression will be monitored for changes using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). The PHQ-9 uses a 4-point scale (Not at all = 0; Several days = 1;More than half the days = 2; Nearly every day = 3). The sum of the scores is calculated (Score range is 0 to 27):
1-4 Minimal depression 5-9 Mild depression 10-14 Moderate depression 15-19 Moderately severe depression 20-27 Severe depression |
Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 | |
Secondary | Effects of Varenicline on Self-reported Smoking Reduction Prior to the Quit Date | Previous research has shown that abstinence at the end of treatment is strongly predicted by the extent to which smokers spontaneously reduce ad libitum smoking in the initial weeks of pharmacotherapy that is initiated before the quit-smoking date.
This measure will assess the extent of smoking reduction in participants during the initial seven days of treatment (prior to their planned quit date) - assessed via a self-report number of cigarettes per day. Data is recorded as a mean change. |
