1 QuitFast: Evaluating Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation as a Tool to Reduce Smoking Directly Following a Quit Attempt

Cigarette smoking constitutes the greatest preventable cause of mortality and morbidity in the US. The most critical period for long term success of smoking cessation appears to be in the first 7 days after the quit date. A metaanalysis of 3 pharmacotherapy trials revealed that abstinence during the first 7 days was the strongest predictor of 6 month outcomes (n=1649; Odds ratio: 1.4, P <0.0001; Ashare et al. 2013). Prodigious relapse rates during this first week of smoking cessation are likely due to behavioral and neurobiological factors that contribute to high cue-associated craving and low executive control over smoking. The long term goal of the research is to develop evidence-based transcranial magnetic stimulation protocols to facilitate abstinence during this critical period.

MeSH:Tobacco Use Disorder Behavior, Addictive
HPO:Addictive behavior

Primary Outcomes

Description: The effect of real vs. sham iTBS to the left DLPFC vs. real vs. sham cTBS to the left MPFC as a tool to modulate the brain response to cigarette cravings will be assessed by comparing the brain activity in the executive circuit and limbic circuit before and after TMS. Participants will receive an MRI brain scan before their first TMS treatment, and at the end of their 10th days of TMS. At each MRI scan, participants will be subjected to a cigarette craving "cue" task within the scanner where elevated brain activity (BOLD signal) will be measured using an fMRI sequence. During each scan, they will see pictures of cigarette cues, neutral cues, and blurred images. The task is meant to induce craving and see how the brain responds to these craving cues.

Measure: Neuroimaging outcomes: changes in drug cue reactivity as specified by changes in BOLD signal

Time: Through study completion, an average of 8 weeks

Description: Participants will be asked to choose between two conditions in which varying amounts and delays to behavioral outcomes (e.g., $50 now or $100 later) are presented. We will use magnitudes of $100 and $1000 which are the most thoroughly documented among the literature. Across consecutive choices, the delay to the larger outcome will be titrated until reaching the participant's indifference delay (i.e., the delay at which s/he equally values both options). This indifference delay indexes individual participants' rates of delay discounting. Monetary delay discounting has been documented to be predictive to treatment success for smokers.

Measure: Changes in Delayed Discounting Cognitive Behavioral Task

Time: Through study completion, an average of 8 weeks

Description: This 10-item questionnaire assesses cigarette craving. Participants will be asked to rate from 1 (strongly disagree) to 100 (strongly agree) their agreement with several statements (e.g., "I have a desire for a cigarette right now," and "Nothing would be better than smoking a cigarette right now."). Factor analyses support two factors: one that reflects a strong desire and intention to smoke and one that reflects relief from negative affect associated with an urgent desire to smoke.

Measure: Questionnaire on Smoking Urges administered daily both pre/post TMS to measure craving

Time: Through study completion, an average of 8 weeks

Description: The hypothetical purchase task (HPT), a validated measure for cigarette demand, will assess cigarette purchases at various price conditions. Participants will hypothetically purchase quantities of cigarettes to use over a 24-hour period across ascending prices (e.g., $0, 0.12, $0.25, $0.50, $1.00, and $2.00 per cigarette). The HPT has been shown to be predictive of treatment outcomes. It will measure how participants value cigarettes throughout the course of the study visits.

Measure: Hypothetical Purchase Task to measure tobacco product value and sensitivity

Time: Through study completion, an average of 8 weeks

Secondary Outcomes

Description: Changes in cigarette use as detected by quantitative cotinine urine screens collected at visits 1, 6, 10, and all follow-ups

Measure: Biochemical assessment of tobacco use via quantitative urine screens to detect cotenine level

Time: Through study completion, an average of 8 weeks

Description: This self-reported tobacco product use interview asks participants to retrospectively estimate the number of tobacco products they've used each day for the past 30 days or since the previous assessment, whichever is fewer.

Measure: Self- report assessment of tobacco use through Timeline Follow-Back (TLFB) Interview

Time: Through study completion, an average of 8 weeks

Description: Breath CO provides an accurate measure of recent exposure to CO, including from smoking combustible tobacco products (95). The CO measurement will be used to determine recency of smoking.

Measure: Biochemical assessment of recent tobacco use via breath Carbon Monoxide (CO) sample

Time: Through study completion, an average of 8 weeks

2 Quality of Life and Addiction Among Hospital Night Workers - Descriptive Study of APHP Workers in Paris

The current context of the Covid-19 health crisis leads to an over-solicitation of health systems, with hospital staff in the front line. These personnel are undergoing high levels of stress, an alteration of their life rhythm, but also of their health status and quality of life at work. In addition, night work, through the disruption of circadian rhythms, has consequences on physical and mental health. The more frequent worsening of the condition of certain patients at night increases the burden and responsibilities of night staff. Increasing the use of psychoactive substances (SPAs) can become a solution for managing stress, work rhythms, sleep disorders and their consequences. This self-medication behaviour is not without risks, neither for staff nor for patients. The ALADDIN study is a project made up of 2 waves of questionnaires - one during and the other after the Covid "hospital" crisis - filled in by the hospital night staff of AP-HP. This project will assess the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic on the quality of work life, mental health disorders, post-traumatic stress and substance use of hospital night staff. The main objectives of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of psychoactive substance consumption among the night shift healthcare workers of the AP-HP and to describe the participants' quality of working life. Methods The study is prospective study using an online self-completed questionnaire. The questionnaire was elaborated on the basis of the validated scales ASSIST (Alcohol, Smoking, and Substance Involvement Screening Test), AUDIT-C (Alcohol Use Disorder Test, shortened version) and HAD (for anxiety and depression) and on qualitative interviews conducted among care staff working the night shift. The questionnaire will be completed at t0 (baseline) and 18 months after. This study will provide data on the consumption psychoactive substances by night hospital workers adn their quality of working life. It will also allow us to compare their consumption with the general population, and to describe the risk factors influencing the consumption.

3 Evolution of Psychoactive Substances Consumption in Connection With COVID-19 Containment - EPILOGUE

The current containment linked to COVID-19 will have consequences for people suffering from addiction and there is a risk of overdoses when the containment ends. So the investigators hypothesize that this health crisis is an opportunity to develop risk reduction and access to care for vulnerable people who lives with an addiction. The main objective of this study is to describe the changes in the psychoactive substances consumption during the containment in people suffering from addiction. The secondary objectives are to describe the evolution at 1 month from the end of the containment of problematic consumption and the level of access to care of these users
