Aim: While accumulating evidence suggests that people modified their smoking during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it remains unclear whether those most at risk for tobacco-related health disparities did so. The current study examined changes in smoking among several vulnerable smoker populations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: A web-based survey was distributed in 2020 to 709 adults with socioeconomic disadvantage, affective disorders, or opioid use disorder who participated in a previous study investigating the effects of very low nicotine content (VLNC) cigarettes on smoking.
Background: Borderline personality disorder (BPD) and substance use disorder (SUD) frequently co-occur. Although some research has investigated the factors related to this comorbidity, few have isolated the effects of SUD on a BPD diagnosis.
Methods: Patients presenting for treatment were assessed with the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV, the BPD module of the Structured Interview for DSM-IV Personality, the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), and the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ).
