Attrition from smoking cessation treatment by individuals with a history of major depression was investigated. An investigation of preinclusion attrition examined differences between eligible smokers who did (n = 258) and did not (n = 100) attend an initial assessment session. Postinclusion attrition was investigated by comparing early dropouts (n = 33), lale dropouts (n = 27), and treatment completers (n = 117). Those who failed to attend the assessment session were more likely to be female, to smoke cigarettes with higher nicotine content, and to have a history of psychotropic medication use. Early-treatment dropouts reported a higher smoking rate than late-treatment dropouts and endorsed more symptoms of depression than late dropouts and treatment completers. Results are compared with previous investigations of smoking cessation attrition, and implications for treatment and attrition prevention are discussed.Attrition from treatment poses a considerable problem for both researchers evaluating interventions (Howard, Cox, & Saunders, 1990) and clinicians delivering treatment (Stark, 1992). In studying attrition, investigators have found it useful to distinguish between preinclusion attrition-which occurs prior to entering a study, during screening or during intake evaluations-and postinclusion attrition, which occurs during treatment or posttreatment follow-ups (Howard et al., 1990). For example, evaluations of smoking cessation programs have noted preinclusion attrition rates of 30%-50% (Curry, Marlatt, Gordon, & Baer, 1988;Kviz, Crittenden, Madura, & Warnecke, 1994;Hall, Muñoz, & Reus, 1994) and postinclusion attrition rates that range from less than 10% (Curry, Thompson, Sexton, & Omenn, 1989;Zelman, Brandon, Jorenby, & Baker, 1992) to approximately 50% (Curry et al., 1988;Klesges et al., 1988).Although they are significant, these rates of attrition may be even higher in selected high-risk groups of smokers, such as those with psychiatric comorbidity. Disproportionately high rates of psychiatric comorbidity with cigarette smoking have been found in both adolescent (Brown, Lewinsohn, Seeley, & Wagner, 1996) and adult ) community samples. In adult smoking cessation programs, rates of past major depressive disorder (MDD) have ranged from 31% (Hall et al., 1994) to 61% (Glassman et al., 1988 smokers with a history of major depression have been shown to have elevated negative mood at pretreatment (Ginsberg, Hall, Reus, & Muñoz, 1995;Hall et al., 1994), to experience mood disturbance following cessation Ginsberg et al., 1995), and to relapse at higher rates than smokers without past MDD (Glassman et al., 1988;Glassman, 1993).As the overall prevalence of cigarette smoking decreases (Centers for Disease Control, 1994), those remaining smokers are likely to have more difficulty quitting because of factors such as psychiatric comorbidity and high nicotine dependence (Coambes, Kozlowski, & Ferrence, 1989;Hughes, 1993). Smoking cessation programs are increasingly faced with the prospect of delivering treatment ...

Given the high lifetime prevalence rates of bipolar disorder and comorbid substance use disorders (SUDs), the aim of the study was to examine the effect of a remitted SUD on the future course of bipolar I disorder in patients taking part in a clinical trial. Patients with bipolar I disorder were enrolled in a larger study examining the effects of pharmacotherapy plus family interventions. These patients were recruited during an acute mood episode and their mood symptoms and substance abuse were assessed longitudinally for up to 28 months. Patients with a remitted SUD showed a poorer acute treatment response, a longer time to remission of their acute mood episode, and a greater percentage of time with subthreshold but clinically significant depression and manic symptoms over follow-up compared to those without this comorbidity pattern. Subsequent substance abuse during follow-up could not fully account for the poorer course of illness. As remitted SUDs appear to negatively predict treatment outcome, current findings have implications for both clinical trials of bipolar patients as well as clinical practice.

“…The MHRSD is an adapted form of the original scale and includes standardized question prompts to increase reliability. The MHRSD has good interrater reliability and convergent validity (Miller et al, 1985). The MHRSD suicide item is rated as follows: 0 = Absent ; 1 = Feels life is not worth living ; 2 = Wishes he were dead or thoughts of possible death to himself ; 3 = Suicidal ideas, gestures, or plans ; 4 = Attempted suicide (any serious attempt).…”

There is a paucity of research on the emergence of suicidal ideation in recently hospitalized patients undergoing treatment for depression. As part of a larger clinical trial, patients (n = 103) with major depression without suicidal ideation at hospital discharge were followed for up to 6 months while receiving study-related outpatient treatments. Fifty-five percent (n = 57/103) reported the emergence of suicidal ideation during the outpatient period, with the vast majority (79%; n = 45/57) of these patients exhibiting this problem within the first two months post-discharge. Seventy percent (n = 30/43) of those reporting severe suicidality prior to hospitalization exhibited a reemergence of suicidal ideation post-discharge. However, 29% (n = 10/34) without significant suicidality at the index hospitalization later developed suicidal ideation during the outpatient treatment period. A faster time to the emergence of suicidal ideation was predicted by both higher pre-hospitalization levels of suicidal ideation as well as greater depression severity at hospital discharge. Overall, rates of emergent suicidal ideation found in the current sample of recently hospitalized patients were higher than those reported in previous outpatient samples.
