To better understand acuity concerns, we ran a frequency word count with the 47 listserv emails con- taining the keyword stem “suicid”. The most frequent word in conversations ref- erencing suicide was Chantix (varenicline). With tobacco treatment professionals POS5-1 dispersed across the US and globally, the ATTUD network and listserv is fostering DEVELOPMENT OF A MEASURE FOR AFFECT DURING interprofessional exchange.

In the context of substance use, individuals often experi- ence a range of emotional states each with specific valence and salience when expecting to use a particular substance. Such affective experiences are likely to have trait and state components, and might play an important role in initiating, maintaining, and extinguishing substance use. The aim of this study was to con- POS5-3 duct an initial investigation into the development of a measure of positive, high STUDY ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ANXIETY activation (e.g. excitement) trait anticipatory affect for cigarette smokers.

The initial administration showed ed smoking variables as well as nicotine dependence (weak correlation). In this high internal consistency (alpha = 0.92) and high discriminant validity in relation framework, we investigated the relationship between AS and abstinence-related to negative affect and low-activation. Results were confirmed after 1 week (alpha problems, smoking abstinence expectancies, tobacco dependence. METHODS: = 0.90); Test-retest reliability was good (alpha = 0.80).

AS Physical Concerns were moderately associated with withdraw- al symptoms (OR = 0.49, p = 0.001 for MNWS-R; OR = 0.39, p = 0.01 for SCS) as well as with consequences of negative mood and lack of control (OR = 0.53, p = POS5-2 0.001).

Not statistically significant results were found for AS and cigarette depen- dence. DISCUSSION: AS-related cognitive distortions have a strong influence on ILLNESS, TOBACCO USE AND CESSATION the perception of tobacco withdrawal symptoms whereas AS Physical Concerns Allison DeCastro*, Judith Prochaska, Catherine Brown-Johnson, Stanford have a moderate influence on perception of tobacco withdrawal as well as on Prevention Research Center - Stanford Department of Medicine, CA expectancies of negative mood and loss of control. AS does not correlate with the level of cigarette dependence. High prevalence of cigarette smoking among those with mental illness causes significant disparities in health and raises potential challenges to treatment.

Of 10,486 emails, 968 (9.2%) included one or more of 17 keyword stems related to mental illness. In the identified subset, the most common keywords were “psych” (48.2%), “mental” (42.4%), “depress” (19.3%), “behavioral health” (14.4%), “anxiety” (10%), “schizo” (5.6%), and “suicid” (4.8%).

Two reviewers screened all the titles and abstracts independently, blinded to authors and journal POS5-6 titles. Of the 904 articles identified, articles that were included revolved around RACIAL/ETHNIC DISCRIMINATION, MARKETING, AND prevalence and subjective reports related to e-cigarette use. DATA EXTRACTION.
