Abstract

We report the results of a randomized trial comparing a novel smoking cessation treatment Mindfulness Training for Smokers (MTS) to a usual care therapy (Controls), which included the availability of a tobacco quit line and nicotine patches. Data were collected from 196 low socioeconomic status smokers in 2010-2011 in Madison, Wisconsin. Participants were randomized to either MTS or a telephonic quit line. The primary outcome was 6-month smoking abstinence measured by carbon monoxide breath testing and Time-Line Follow-Back. Among treatment initiators (randomized participants who participated in the intervention), abstinence rates were significantly different between the MTS (38.7%) and control (20.6%, p = .05) groups. Study limitations are also discussed. Results suggest that further study is warranted.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • MBIs (e.g., MTS) showed significant improvements on self-reported measures of attentional control, emotion regulation, and mindfulness, and these measures were significantly correlated with meditation time and smoking abstinence versus Quit Line intervention or FFS.

    “MBIs (e.g., MTS) showed significant improvements on self-reported measures of attentional control, emotion regulation, and mindfulness. Post-treatment, these measures were significantly correlated with meditation time and smoking abstinence versus Quit Line intervention or FFS (55, 73, 74).”
  • In non-ADHD groups that are racially and educationally diverse, of low socioeconomic status, or incarcerated, mindfulness training seems to improve outcomes.

    “although mindfulness meditation training appears to improve outcome in non-ADHD samples that are diverse racially and educationally, low or predominantly low socioeconomic status, and are incarcerated (Bowen et al., 2014; Davis et al., 2014; Leonard et al., 2013)”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
