“…[59][60][61] Causal pathways between viewing health warnings and subsequent behavior are inadequately understood in general populations 55 and have yet to be studied in persons with SMI. Finally, our findings raise the possibility that pictorial and video health warnings could be incorporated into motivational interventions and cessation decision support tools targeting ROP smokers.…”

Virtually no research has examined the responses of youth with recent-onset psychosis (ROP) to smoking-related health warnings. We examined predictors of response and tested hypotheses that participants with ROP would (a) assess warnings as less effective than a healthy comparison (HC) group, and (b) assess video warnings as more effective than pictures. ROP participants (n = 69) had <2 years of prior antipsychotic treatment; the HC group (n = 79) had no major mental illness. Participants viewed 10 pictorial warnings, 8 videos depicting similar messages, and were interviewed regarding tobacco use, health literacy, and smoking knowledge. We assessed response at baseline and at 4-week follow-up. ROP participants were more likely than HC to smoke tobacco (49.3% vs 10.1%) and had lower levels of health literacy and smoking-related knowledge. Cannabis was used by 46.4% of ROP participants. Effectiveness ratings were high for both picture and video warnings with no differences between media. ROP participants compared to HC and nonsmokers compared to smokers were more likely to perceive warnings as effective. Effectiveness was associated with negative affect and greater emotional arousal. We assessed 33 smokers at follow-up; 5 (15%) identified as nonsmokers, 15 (45%) made a quit attempt, and 16 (49%) reported that the warnings influenced their smoking. Results indicate that young people with psychotic disorders respond favorably to health warnings. Effective messages depict health consequences clearly, elicit negative emotions, and may impact smoking behavior. Future research is needed to understand the effects of mode of presentation and message comprehension on smoking behavior.

“…Prior research shows that individuals with and without mental illness who feel supported by others are more likely to make positive lifestyle changes, including dietary change and exercise (Aschbrenner, Carpenter-Song, et al, 2013; Yarborough, Stumbo, Yarborough, Young, & Green, 2016) and quitting smoking (Aschbrenner, Ferron, et al, 2015; Koshy, Mackenzie, Tappin, & Bauld, 2010). In a recent survey of lifestyle behaviors, smokers whose family members or friends had recently encouraged them to quit were more likely to report that they had tried to quit compared to than those who had not received encouragement to quit (Sharma & Szatkowski, 2014).…”

“…Attempts to quit smoking can be undermined during everyday social situations where smoking with family members and friends is accepted and even normative (Paul et al, 2010; van den Putte, Yzer, & Brunsting, 2005). In contrast, social support and nonsmoking social norms are associated with smoking cessation among people with mental illness (Aschbrenner, Ferron, Mueser, Bartels, & Brunette, 2015; Lucksted, Dixon, & Sembly, 2000). Social network members, including family and friends, can play an important role in supporting the cessation process by providing a smoker with tangible resources (e.g.…”

Objective Engaging natural supports may be a promising strategy to promote the use of evidence-based smoking cessation treatment for individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) who smoke. This qualitative study explored preferences for support for quitting from family and friends among individuals with SMI who participated in cessation treatment. Methods Participants were 41 individuals with SMI enrolled in a Medicaid Demonstration Project of smoking cessation at community mental health centers. Open-ended questions asked during a social network interview explored participants' preferences for more support for quitting smoking from family and friends. The qualitative data was coded and common themes were identified across the data. Results Three primary preferences emerged for smoking cessation support from family members and friends: 1) more practical support for quitting (e.g., financial help with purchasing cessation medications); 2) more emotional support for quitting (e.g., encouraging progress toward quitting); and 3) changing their own smoking behaviors in the presence of participants (e.g., don't smoke around them or offer them cigarettes). Conclusions Individuals with SMI who participated in smoking cessation treatment at community mental health centers indicated several ways that family members and friends could support their efforts to quit smoking. Understanding how people with SMI want support from family and friends to quit smoking will inform strategies to leverage these natural resources to promote the use of evidence-based smoking cessation treatment and support smoking abstinence for this population.

“…The first two groups preferred to ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 10 seek advice from family members who had quit. Another US study by Aschbrenner et al (2015) comparing two smoking cessation treatment support systems for 124 people with severe mental illness found that, " over and above demographic and personal factors, implicit social influences (others" approval of treatment) significantly predicted use of smoking cessation medication, while explicit social influences (smoking with others) significantly predicted use of cessation group therapy"(p.169). Finally, a recent Australian study involving a survey with 754 smokers admitted to psychiatric facilities asked them about their recent quitting behavior and motivation to quit smoking.…”

“…It includes small samples drawn from specific settings, use of non-rigorous methods, and may be out of step with current attitudes. There is no existing research that examines directly what people with mental illness who smoke think about the role of carers in supporting their quit efforts; though the above studies that identify a positive role for family members is promising (Dickerson et al, 2011;Nawaz et al, 2012;Aschbrenner et al, 2015;Metse et al, 2016).…”
