Smokers with bipolar disorder, other affective disorders, and no mental health conditions: Comparison of baseline characteristics and success at quitting in a large 12-month behavioral intervention randomized trial.
Drug and Alcohol Dependence 2018 December 2
BACKGROUND: The extent to which smokers with bipolar disorder (BD) differ from other smokers on cessation-related characteristics and outcomes is unknown and could improve knowledge of treatment needs for this group. These analyses compared smokers with BD versus smokers with other affective disorders (ADs; anxiety and unipolar depression) and smokers with no mental health conditions (MHCs).
METHOD: Participants (n = 2570) were a subsample of those enrolled in a smoking cessation trial comparing two web-delivered intervention approaches: acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and cognitive behavioral therapy. Those included in this analysis self-reported having BD (n = 221), other ADs (n = 783) or no major MHCs (n = 1566). Surveys assessed baseline characteristics and self-reported abstinence at 3, 6, and 12-months post-randomization. Treatment utilization was tracked via page views.
RESULTS: Smokers with BD were distinct from both AD and no MHC smokers on the majority of baseline characteristics. At 12-months, quit rates were lower for smokers with BD (20%) than no MHCs (29%; p = 0.01), but no different than other ADs (20%; p = .467). Interactions between treatment assignment and diagnostic group were non-significant for cessation outcome. The number of logins was higher for smokers with BD than AD in the ACT arm only (p = .001), but this finding was not replicated across other utilization indicators.
CONCLUSIONS: Smokers with BD and other ADs had similar long-term quit rates despite numerous differences in baseline characteristics. Despite being lower than for smokers without MHCs, long-term quit rates from web-based treatment are promising for smokers with BD as well as other ADs.
