“…In contrast, the prevalence among multiracial smokers increased by 5.2 % during that time period. Despite previous reviews indicating a greater proportion of cessation studies focused on African Americans relative to the other racial/ethnic minority groups [6][7][8], the smoking decline in this population was the lowest (excluding multiracial smokers). Moreover, no previous reviews have examined studies targeting smokers of multiple races.…”

The purpose of this study was to systematically review recent empirical literature on smoking cessation in racial/ethnic minority groups. Specifically, we focused on smoking cessation intervention trials and investigations of factors associated with cessation. Studies published between 2010 and September 2014 were considered. Nine smoking cessation intervention trials and 16 studies examining correlates of smoking behavior were published in within the past 3 years. Results demonstrated promise for varenicline in facilitating cessation among African Americans and Hispanics, and culturally specific behavioral counseling appears to be efficacious among Asian Americans. In trans-group comparisons, racial/ethnic minorities reported greater quit attempts compared to Whites; yet success may be reduced due to factors such as menthol smoking, low pharmacotherapy use, and lower readiness to quit. Recommendations for evidence-based interventions and future research are offered.

“…[24][25][26] However, evidence suggests that regimens requiring long-term changes to behaviour (such as exercise and desensitisation of the affected limb(s) often two or three times a day, as well as learning to pace activities) tend to have poorer adherence. 27 Specific barriers to adherence include lack of an ability to fit into one's routine, 24,28 the belief that the changes are too time consuming and boring, 29 lack of appropriate expertise amongst healthcare professionals 23 and conflicting perspectives of patients and providers. 30 Similar issues arise with carers who lack understanding and knowledge and struggle to provide support 31 .…”

Coping with chronic complex regional pain syndrome: advice from patients for patients

Objective: To explore what advice people currently living with chronic CRPS would offer to another person coming to terms with a diagnosis of chronic CRPS. Methods:Semi-structured interviews with 21 adults (5 male) living with chronic CRPS who had completed a CRPS rehabilitation programme were conducted.Results: Effectively self-managing CRPS required individuals to play an active role. This could only be achieved if they felt they had sufficient control. Means of attaining control involved attaining a level of acceptance, becoming well-informed and accessing the right kind of support. The advice offered by patients for patients largely reflected that offered by healthcare professionals. One area where there was a conflict concerned sleep hygiene. Conclusions:Our study provides support both for the argument put forward by Redman 1 that without appropriate preparation and support, self-management is ineffective, and that by Skuladottir and Halldorsdottir 2 that the main challenge of the chronic pain trajectory is that of retaining a sense of control. The clinical implications of this are discussed.

“…However, given that low-level smokers may be less physically dependent on tobacco, pharmacotherapy might be less effective or ineffective. Moreover, little research has focused on the effi cacy of behavioral smoking cessation interventions among Latinos, and only a few studies have demonstrated a signifi cant treatment effect ( Lawrence, Graber, Mills, Meissner, & Warnecke, 2003 ;Wetter et al, 2007 ). Thus, more research on the development of effi cacious smoking cessation treatments for Latino smokers is needed, and information about dependence, withdrawal, and other smoking-related constructs can help to inform and direct the focus of those interventions.…”

reported the least craving in pre-to postcessation longitudinal analyses. Third, despite signifi cant differences on dependence and craving, low-level smoking was not associated with abstinence. Smoking level was not associated with demographic variables.Discussion: This is a preliminary step in understanding factors infl uencing tobacco dependence and smoking cessation among low-level Spanish-speaking Latino smokers, a subgroup with high prevalence in the Latino population. IntroductionAccording to 2005 data from the U.S. Bureau of the Census, Latinos now comprise over 14% of the nation's population and are the largest and fastest growing minority group in the United States ( Bernstein, 2006 ). Although the prevalence of smoking is lower among Latinos than the general population (15.2% vs. 20.8%), the adverse consequences of tobacco use on Latino health are severe ( Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2007 ). For example, three of the four leading causes of death among Latinos are related to smoking (cancer, heart disease, and stroke), and lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer Abstract Introduction: Although recent research indicates that many Latino smokers are nondaily smokers or daily smokers who smoke at a low level ( ≤ 5 cigarettes/day), almost no research has investigated the characteristics of low-level smokers because such individuals are typically excluded from clinical trial research. Methods:The present study examined the associations of daily smoking level and demographics, tobacco dependence, withdrawal, and abstinence during a specifi c quit attempt among 280 Spanish-speaking Latino smokers (54% male) who participated in a clinical trial of a telephone counseling intervention. Daily smokers were classifi ed as low-level (1 -5 cigarettes/day; n = 81), light (6 -10 cigarettes/day; n = 99), or moderate/heavy smokers ( ≥ 11 cigarettes/day; n = 100). Data were collected prior to the quit attempt and at 5 and 12 weeks postquit. Results:Results yielded three key fi ndings. First, smoking level was positively associated with the total score and 12 of 13 subscale scores on a comprehensive, multidimensional measure of tobacco dependence. Low-level smokers consistently reported the least dependence, and moderate/heavy smokers reported the most dependence on tobacco. Second, low-level smokers
