Does poor health and wellbeing affect smoking cessation?Rosemary Hiscock, Fiona Dobbie, Linda Bauld UKNSCC 12th-13thJune 2014, London
Outline • Background • Definitions of health and wellbeing • Health and wellbeing and smoking • Health and wellbeing in the ELONS study • Results • Wellbeing basic characteristics • Regression analysis • Do health and wellbeing at baseline predict quitting 1 year later? • What predicts wellbeing? • Discussion
Health & wellbeing Health: ‘a state of complete physical, mental, and social wellbeing, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity’ (WHO 1946) Wellbeing: ‘positive mental state enhanced and supported by various social, environmental and psychological factors’ (See DEFRA, 2007) Wellbeing over TIME: More than just momentary mood Builds up overtime i.e. resilience
Dimensions of wellbeing Subjective Objective internal – need to talk to /observe person Conditions for a good life
Dimensions of wellbeing Physical health Socioeconomic status Subjective Objective internal – need to talk to/observe person Conditions for a good life
Dimensions of wellbeing Hedonic Emotions e.g are you content? Physical health Socioeconomic status Subjective Objective Conditions for a good life internal – need to talk to/observe person Eudemonic Interests e.g. are you bored?

WHO_5 wellbeing Index • Over the last two weeks: • I have felt cheerful and in good spirits • I have felt calm and relaxed • I have felt active and vigorous • I woke up feeling fresh and rested • My daily life has been filled with things that interest me • Response scale • All of the time=5, • Most of the time=4 • More than half the time=3 • Less than half the time =2 • Some of the time=1 • At no time=0
Medical conditions & smoking Cancer (90% lung cancers) Heart disease Circulatory disease (stroke) Respiratory disease (COPD, exacerbates athsma) Infertility and impotence http://www.nhs.uk/chq/Pages/2344.aspx?CategoryID=53
Wellbeing and smoking • Unclear whether tobacco control measures aimed at smoking reduction improve wellbeing (satisfaction) • (Beard et al 2014, Gruber & Mulleinathan 2002, Odermatt & Stutzer 2012, Bordeur 2013) • Quitting smoking associated with • Increased quality of life & positive affect • Decreased stress, depression & anxiety • (Metaanalysis: Taylor, McNeill et al 2014) • Quitting smoking associated with increased happiness • (Shahab & West 2009, 2012) • Psychological distress associated with failing to quit • (Lawrence et al 2011)
ELONS study • 3057 smokers setting a quit date at one of nine English NHS Stop Smoking Services (SSS) • Enhanced monitoring data collected at baseline included WHO_5 Wellbeing Index, medical conditions • CO validated abstinence assessed • @4 weeks by SSS advisor • @12 months by BMRB (market research company)
Medical conditions Any medical condition Heart, blood & circulation Respiratory & lungs Mental illness Other condition
Wellbeing scale • Derived scoring • Continuous: Sum the scores for each item and multiply by 4. • Case: • Concerning level of wellbeing: if score<13 or any item scores 0 to 1 • Good level of wellbeing • Categorised wellbeing score • 0 to 20 • 21 to 40 • 41 to 60 • 61 to 80
Mental conditions vs wellbeing Mental condition OR Wellbeing B Models controlling for location and time of year
Histogram of Wellbeing Skew = -.326
Mean* wellbeing 53 (52 to 54) Mean* weighted for age, gender, SES, behavioural support and takes into account cluster by location
Individual wellbeing items • 4 week quit after controls • I have felt calm and relaxed • My daily life has been filled with things that interest me • 52 week quit after controls • I have felt cheerful and in good spirits
Predictors of wellbeing 0 50 100 Number points increased:
Implications • Feelings of wellbeing predict quitting 1 year later • Specialist services treat more clients with mental health issues than level 2s • However feelings of wellbeing more important than the presence/absence of a medical condition • Clients with higher wellbeing access groups
Implications (2) • Predictors of wellbeing often similar to predictors of quitting • Services should perhaps assess clients wellbeing and see if they can improve wellbeing BEFORE client makes a quit attempt e.g. • reducing dependence, • improving support • treatment for mental health issues
Caveats • Differences between advisors and locations suggests different modes of assessment may affect wellbeing • Ethnic differences • Possible translation issues e.g. ‘vigorous’ ‘some of the time’? • Those with extremely high wellbeing not so likely to quit e.g. answered ‘all of the time’ • Social deception? • Unable to deal with challenges?
Conclusions Wellbeing at baseline has long term implications for smoking cessation Wellbeing an important concept for further study What can advisors do to enhance or maintain wellbeing in their clients?
