Abstract

Purpose of Review

Social media platforms have the potential to reach large audiences and deliver intervention content in an interactive format. Yet, little is known about the efficacy of social media for smoking cessation treatment or which specific features best promote participant engagement and behavior change. This article seeks to evaluate the current literature on the use of social media interventions to support smoking cessation.

Recent Findings

Findings suggest that social media interventions are feasible and can be utilized effectively for smoking cessation treatment. Greater participant engagement with intervention content appears to be associated with positive changes in smoking behaviors in most, but not all studies reviewed.

Summary

Smoking cessation interventions on social media hold promise to help smokers quit. Future randomized trials with longer follow-up intervals are needed to expand the current evidence base, as are studies that systematically investigate strategies to improve participant engagement with interventions.

Neu im Fachgebiet Psychiatrie

„Wir wollen die Bedeutung von Gen- und Umwelteinflüssen besser verstehen“

Eine Mutation in einem einzelnen Gen kann bei Mäusen eine Art Bipolarstörung auslösen. PD Dr. Jan Deussing vom Max-Planck-Institut für Psychiatrie in München sieht in solchen Tiermodellen eine Möglichkeit, den Ursachen der Erkrankung auf den Grund zu gehen.

Suizidassistenz erhöht Suizidzahlen: Aktuelle Ergebnisse der geplanten S3-Leitlinie

Erstmals wird in Deutschland eine S3-Leitlinie zum Thema Suizidalität erarbeitet. Ziel ist es, die Versorgung in suizidalen Krisen durch einheitliche Standards zu verbessern. Erste Ergebnisse der bisherigen Leitlinienarbeit wurden auf dem DGPPN-Kongress vorgestellt.

Einer von sieben Frauen macht die Menopause sehr zu schaffen

Von mäßigen bis schweren vasomotorischen Beschwerden sind 14,7% der Frauen in der Postmenopause betroffen. Das haben kanadische Forscherinnen in einer Subgruppenanalyse der WARM-Studie herausgefunden.

Depressive Senioren fahren besonders riskant

Beim Autofahren machen ältere Depressive häufiger eine Vollbremsung, gehen öfter zu schnell in Kurven und halten sich seltener an Tempolimits als Senioren ohne Depression. Offenbar scheint eine Depression eine riskante Fahrweise im Alter zu verstärken.
