“…Because there was no overlap in self-report questionnaires used in the original two studies a main outcome measure specific to each study was also included as follows : the Kellner & Sheffield (1973) Symptom Rating Test (SRT), a questionnaire designed to measure changes in symptoms of distress in neurotic patients, was used in Study 1 but not Study 2; and the trait version of the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-T) (Spielberger et al 1983) was used in Study 2 but not Study 1.…”

Background. Generalized anxiety disorder is a common condition of excessive worry and tension which tends to run a chronic course associated with significant psychiatric and medical problems. Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) has been shown to be of clinical value in about 50% of cases with treatment gains maintained over follow-up periods ranging from 6 to 12 months. The potential value of CBT over the longer term has not been subject to rigorous investigation.

Nicotine replacement by transdermal patches is more effective than placebo in smoking cessation, but has a low success rate after one year (9-18%). We tested whether this was attributed to insufficient nicotine replacement.We conducted a randomized trial to investigate the effect on outcome of different doses of transdermal nicotine replacement after stratification according to baseline plasma cotinine values. Two hundred and ninety seven adult smokers were enrolled. Those with baseline cotinine ≤250 ng·ml -1 (low cotinine) were randomly assigned to placebo (LC-P) or to 15 mg 16 h nicotine patches (LC-15), and those with baseline cotinine >250 ng·mL -1 (high cotinine) were randomly assigned to 15 mg (HC-15) or 25 mg (HC-25) 16 h nicotine patches. Plasma nicotine and cotinine values, expired carbon monoxide and withdrawal symptoms were measured at scheduled intervals during treatment.Smokers in the LC-15 group had a significantly higher success rate than placebo (28 vs 9%). Smokers with high baseline cotinine had lower success rates, and a high dose of nicotine did not increase success rate (HC-25 9% vs HC-15 11%). Subjects in the HC-15 group had the lowest percentage of nicotine replacement and a higher prevalence of withdrawal symptoms than the HC-25 group. Replacement was similar in groups LC-15 and HC-25, but the success rate was significantly lower in HC-25 group, despite similar levels of withdrawal symptoms.We conclude that a higher success rate was obtained after one year in smokers with low baseline plasma cotinine values. Determination of plasma cotinine values may be, thus, helpful in identifying smokers who could benefit from transdermal nicotine replacement.

Exercise therapy and mental health in clinical populations: is exercise therapy a worthwhile intervention?

There is widespread support for a positive and lasting relationship between participation in regular exercise and various indices of mental health, and several consensus documents and reviews (e.g. Biddle et al, 2000; Craft & Landers, 1998) have been published in this field. The evidence for psychological benefits, although impressive for mentally healthy individuals, is even stronger for psychiatric populations (Martinsen & Stephens, 1994). For example, a number of studies have demonstrated a positive relationship between exercise and mental health in people with alcohol misuse problems (Donaghy et al, 1991), people with schizophrenia (Chamove, 1986; Faulkner & Sparkes, 1999) and those with clinical depression (Mutrie, 1988; Martinsen, 1993; 1994; Martinsen et al, 1989a, b).
