“…( Heatherton et al, 1991 ) This measure is a widely used, efficient, and reliable measure of dependence 21-23 taken from the Fagerström Test for Cigarette Dependence (FTCD), and highly informative for mild-low to high cigarette dependence. ( Svicher et al, 2018 ) The Heaviness of Smoking Index (HSI) ( Borland et al, 2010 ) was not used because residents reported their estimates for this item in an open field, not the categories used in the FTCD.…”

The present study examines public housing residents’ smoking cessation intentions, expectancies, and attempts one year after implementation of the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s mandatory smoke-free rule in public housing. The sample includes 233 cigarette smokers, ages 18–80, who reside in the District of Columbia Housing Authority. Data collection occurred between March and August 2019. Descriptive statistics, chi-square, and Wilcoxon two-sample test analyses assessed smoking cessation intentions, expectancies, and attempts across resident demographics and characteristics. Findings showed 17.2% of residents reported not thinking about quitting, 39.1% reported thinking about quitting, and 48.6% reported thinking about quitting specifically because of the rule. Residents ages 60–80 were more likely to consider quitting because of the rule, compared to residents ages 18–59. Of those thinking of quitting, 58.6% were sure they could quit if they tried. Those thinking of quitting due to the rule (62.0%) were more likely to have made at least one quit attempt in the past 3 months than those i not attributinging thinking of quitting to the rule. Res Residents trying to quit reported an average of 2.7 attempts in the last 3 months;; most perceived evidence-based cessation supports as not helpful. A A majority reported thinking about quitting and attempting to quit but continuing to smoke, indicating a significant gap between intent to quit and successfully quitting. Results suggest that the rule positively influenced smoking behaviors. However, additional interventions are needed to assist public housing residents with successfully quitting smoking.

“…Current anxiety and depression were assessed with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI; Bergeron et al, 1976 ) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI; Beck et al, 1961 ). Tobacco dependence was assessed with the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence ( Svicher et al, 2018 ), and participants were asked to abstain for at least 12 h before undergoing the cognitive tests. They were split into three groups based on their consumption profiles: light drinkers (LD), binge drinkers (BD), and binge drinkers consuming cannabis (BDC; see Measures section for the procedure and a description of these groups).…”

Highlights This study focused on combined binge drinking and cannabis use in college students. Cannabis use and binge drinking had an additive effect on cognition. This consumption pattern contributed to memory and executive impairments. Binge drinkers had a heterogeneous cognitive profile regardless of cannabis use. Cannabis use should be assessed in binge drinkers to adapt prevention strategies.

“…The positive affect subscale of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies – Depression scale (CES-D PA) [34] will be used to measure participants’ PA over the past week; this scale has been shown to predict smoking outcome [4] and moderate the effect of PPT-S [19]. Participants’ level of cigarette dependence will be measured via the Fagerström Test for Cigarette Dependence [35, 36]. Condition assignment will be placed in sealed folders, which the counselor will open when participants report to the study center for the initial session of counseling, at which point randomization is considered complete.…”
