Hypothetical purchase tasks offer effective and efficient methods to assess the reinforcing value of various substances, including cigarettes. The purpose of the present study is to examine the validity and reliability of the Cigarette Purchase Task (CPT) in an experimental arrangement in which participants were receiving free cigarettes. Critical to the validity of the CPT is that those who smoke can accurately estimate how much they would smoke under varying economic constraints.

- The 2022 European LeukemiaNet (ELN) classification predicts outcomes for younger acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients but was tested for those aged 60 and older receiving lower-intensity treatment (LIT), involving 595 patients with varying risk levels.
- Results showed that while ELN risk is predictive of overall survival, it fails to distinguish between favorable and intermediate risks, prompting further exploration into adverse-risk patients' molecular abnormalities.
- A new "Beat-AML" risk classification was developed, combining favorable and intermediate risks and integrating mutation scoring, leading to better survival predictions for older AML patients and aiding treatment decisions with clear risk group delineations.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to replicate the Step it UP! Game interventions for adults with disabilities by organizing participants into two competing teams, rewarding the team with the highest step count.
- Experiment 1 tested an extended version of the game with longer sessions and showed that participants increased their step counts significantly.
- Experiment 2 assessed whether adding experimenter interaction would improve results, but found that while participants still took more steps, the added interaction did not enhance the game's effectiveness.
Objectives: Unlike the United States general population, veteran women - as opposed to veteran men - have greater smoking prevalence; yet, little is known regarding factors that influence smoking in veteran women. The purpose of this study was to begin examining the relationship between a psychological concept known as moral injury and demand for cigarettes among veteran women.
Methods: Veteran women who smoke (n = 44) were recruited for this cross-sectional study from Amazon MTurk, Reddit, and a veteran-serving non-profit organization in June-July 2023.
