“…These correlates have been reported before in LBQ women and the general population. [31,32] Echoing previous research associating smoking with depression and victimisation, [8,32] we also found LBQ women smokers were more likely to have had a past mental health diagnosis and recent experiences of anti-LGBT harassment. Although significantly associated with smoking at univariate level, we found that current psychological distress was also age-associated (younger women being more distressed) and in multivariate analysis smoking and distress were no longer associated.…”

Context Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people are at increased risk for the adverse effects of tobacco use given their high prevalence of use, especially smoking. Evidence regarding cessation is limited. To determine if efficacious interventions are available and to aid the development of interventions, a systematic review was conducted of gray and peer-reviewed literature describing clinical, community, and policy interventions as well as knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding tobacco use cessation among LGBT people. Evidence acquisition Eight databases for articles from 1987 to April 23, 2014 were searched. In February–November 2013, authors and researchers were contacted to identify gray literature. Evidence synthesis The search identified 57 records, of which 51 were relevant and 22 were from the gray literature; these were abstracted into evidence tables, and a narrative synthesis was conducted in October–May 2014. Group cessation curricula tailored for LGBT populations were found feasible to implement and show evidence of effectiveness. Community interventions have been implemented by and for LGBT communities; although these interventions showed feasibility, no rigorous outcome evaluations exist. Clinical interventions show little difference between LGBT and heterosexual people. Focus groups suggest that care is needed in selecting messaging used in media campaigns. Conclusions LGBT-serving organizations should implement existing evidence-based tobacco dependence treatment and clinical systems to support treatment of tobacco use. A clear commitment from government and funders is needed to investigate whether sexual orientation and gender identity moderate the impacts of policy interventions, media campaigns, and clinical interventions.

“…In unadjusted analyses a model containing both risky drinking behaviour and recent drug use was significantly associated with trying to quit smoking; further analysis (via AIC), however, revealed that the model containing only the variable ‘risky drinking behaviour in the past 30 days’ was the best fitting model. Although risky drinking behaviour has been associated with tobacco use, its association with not trying to quit smoking in the post-release period is a novel finding (Kim, 2014; Leeman et al, 2008; Matthews et al, 2014). This finding suggests that providers and transitional experts must consider the role that risky drinking behaviour plays when considering effective tobacco cessation strategies in people recently released from prison.…”

“…People with mental illness and substance use disorders are two to five times less likely to quit than those in the general population (Grant, Hasin, Chou, Stinson, & Dawson, 2004; Hitsman, Moss, Montoya, & George, 2009; Lasser et al, 2000). Several studies suggest that tobacco use and relapse is associated more with a hazardous pattern of alcohol use rather than with moderate drinking (Kim, 2014; Leeman et al, 2008; Matthews et al, 2014). Mood disorders also impact tobacco cessation.…”

Tobacco Use Among People Who Have Been in Prison: Relapse and Factors Associated with Trying to Quit

et al. 2016

Introduction Tobacco use is common among people who have been in prison. The relationship between social stressors, risky health behaviours, and smoking cessation has not been studied in people recently released from prison. Studying this relationship could yield information that guides strategic and cost-effective tobacco cessation interventions for an under-resourced population. Methods One hundred and forty-three smokers were interviewed 7 to 21 days after they had been released from USA prisons. Independent variables included employment status, housing security, relationship problems, educational achievement, risky drinking behaviour, recent drug use, history of drug dependence, and depression. The primary outcome was ‘trying to quit smoking.’ Data were analysed using Pearson chi-square tests and single and multivariable logistic regression models. Results Of those who had to quit smoking due to tobacco-free prison policies, 98% reported relapsing on tobacco after release. Trying to quit smoking was associated with the absence of risky drinking behaviour in the past 30 days (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 6.44, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.02–20.48). Conclusions The absence of risky drinking behaviour is associated with trying to quit smoking among people recently released from prison. Further research may determine whether interventions addressing risky alcohol use can reduce smoking relapse.
