Evaluating the feasibility of pharmacist-facilitated tobacco cessation interventions in independent community pharmacies in rural Appalachia
2022, Journal of the American Pharmacists AssociationCitation Excerpt :This is a major barrier to utilization for low-income and rural smokers in medically underserved regions such as rural Appalachia. Research suggests that insurance coverage of tobacco cessation medications promotes treatment utilization, quit attempts, and cessation,41-45 whereas patient copayments reduce treatment use41,46,47 and lower the likelihood of quitting successfully.46,48 Furthermore, researchers have found that eliminating copayments for tobacco control pharmacotherapy resulted in greater pharmacotherapy use, particularly among low-income smokers.49
Smoking cessation and social deprivation
2014, Revue des Maladies RespiratoiresBehavioral cessation treatment of waterpipe smoking: The first pilot randomized controlled trial
2014, Addictive BehaviorsCitation Excerpt :Withdrawal symptomatology was assessed using the Minnesota Nicotine Withdrawal Scale (MNWS) (Cappelleri et al., 2005). We calculated the mean of eight scale items to obtain a total withdrawal score: anxiety, depression/feeling blue, difficulty concentrating, hunger, increased appetite, insomnia, irritability/frustration/anger, and restlessness (Hughes & Hatsukami, 1986; Hughes, Wadland, Fenwick, Lewis, & Bickel, 1991). Depressive symptomatology was assessed with the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (Hughes & Hatsukami, 1998; Radloff, 1977; Thomas, Jones, Scarinci, Mehan, & Brantley, 2001).
Dependence on the nicotine gum in former smokers
2009, Addictive BehaviorsCitation Excerpt :In clinical trials, up to 30% of patients use NRT products beyond the recommended 3-month period (Hajek, Jackson, & Belcher, 1988; Shiffman, Hughes, Di Marino, & Sweeney, 2003b; Hughes et al., 1991a; Steinberg, Foulds, Richardson, Burke, & Shah, 2006; Johnson, Hollis, Stevens, & Woodson, 1991; Hatsukami, Huber, Callies, & Skoog, 1993; Hughes, 1989). However, participants in clinical trials usually receive the gum for free, and having to pay for it decreases utilization (Hughes, Wadland, Fenwick, Lewis, & Bickel, 1991b). Taking a substance over a longer time than intended is a criterion for drug dependence (American Psychiatric Association, 1994), but long-term use does not necessarily imply dependence, because dependence requires other criteria, in particular unsuccessful attempts to quit and withdrawal symptoms upon cessation.
