Increasing Cessation Motivation And Treatment Engagement Among Smokers In Pain, Emily L. Zale
Increasing Cessation Motivation And Treatment Engagement Among Smokers In Pain, Emily L. Zale
Dissertations - ALL
Tobacco smokers are at increased risk for the development and progression of chronic pain, and smokers with co-occurring pain tend to report greater difficulty and less confidence in quitting. Smokers in pain face unique cessation challenges and may benefit from tailored interventions that address smoking in the context of pain. This pilot study is the first to test the effects of an intervention tailored for smokers with co-occurring pain on motivation to quit and engage cessation treatment. Smokers with chronic pain (N = 76, 57.9% Female, 52.6% White, Mcpd = 17.64) were randomly assigned to either the tailored or control …

Effects Of Experimental Pain Induction On Proxies Of Alcohol Use, Dezarie Moskal
Theses - ALL
Identifying determinants of alcohol consumption remains an important approach to prevent or reduce harmful use. Recent work suggests one such determinant may be physical pain; however, current research is unable to discern causality. Therefore, the goal of this study was to test experimental pain as a determinant of self-reported urge to drink, intention to use alcohol, and alcohol demand (as proxies for ad-lib alcohol consumption). Secondarily, this study aimed to investigate negative affect as a mediator of this relation. We hypothesized that participants randomized to undergo experimental pain induction (vs. no pain) would report increases in proxies of alcohol use …
