Positive Affect as a Predictor of Smoking Cessation and Relapse: Does It Offer Unique Predictive Value Among Depressive Symptom Domains?

Conclusions/Importance: Our results provide further evidence that current depressive symptoms predict worse cessation outcomes, but they fail to support recent work suggesting that low PA has incremental predictive value for cessation or relapse beyond the other depressive symptom domains. To improve quit rates for smokers with depressive symptoms, evidence-based mood management interventions should be included in treatment planning. PMID: 29161212 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
