The relationship between a history of depression and adherence to a multicomponent smoking-cessation program

Article Abstract:

No relationship was found between a history of depression in women smokers aged 18-65 who did not self-report any current depression and adherence to a multisession, multicomponent smoking cessation program. This was found in a study seeking to determine whether a history of depression is associated with adherence to a cessation program, which grouped by depressive history participants in a 13-week cognitive-behavioral group program plus random assignment to nicotine gum, appetite suppressant gum or placebo chewing gum. There were no significant differences between depressive history subgroups on any of the three measures of adherence.

Reasons for quitting: intrinsic and extrinsic motivation for smoking cessation in a population-based sample of smokers

Article Abstract:

High levels of intrinsic relative to extrinsic motivation are determinants of successful smoking cessation. This was gleaned from an examination of an intrinsic-extrinsic model of motivation for smoking cessation in a population-based sample of smokers, using a Reasons for Quitting scale. Health concerns and self-control, as well as immediate reinforcement and social influence, were identified as intrinsic and extrinsic motivation dimensions. Smokers reported equivalent health concerns, lower self-control and higher social influence compared to volunteers.
