Summary: This study aims to identify evidence-based smoking-cessation strategies for young adults, examine gaps in the literature, and discuss methodological issues related to smoking-cessation studies. The research found that multiple interventions have been examined, but there is no conclusive evidence about the most effective intervention for young adults. Further studies should compare the relative effectiveness of these intervention modalities.

Summary: People with disabilities have a higher prevalence of smoking, but there is limited knowledge about cessation interventions tailored for them. This study conducted a systematic review and found two promising interventions using mindfulness-based procedures in adults with mild intellectual disability. However, the interventions did not address the unique needs of people with disabilities.

Summary: This study reviewed tobacco control interventions in clinical settings in the U.S. and found that few studies have reported the costs associated with these interventions. Costs are a critical outcome that should be consistently measured in evaluations of tobacco control interventions to promote their uptake in clinical settings.

Summary: This systematic review found that psychosocial interventions had significant improvement on quality of life and depression symptoms among caregivers of advanced cancer patients, but not on anxiety symptoms, with non-significant effects at follow-up assessments. The overall quality of evidence was rated very low, and caution is needed when interpreting the results. Future randomized control trials with lower risk of bias, larger sample size, detailed participant characteristics, and informative interventions are desirable.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the efficacy of psychological interventions in adults with migraine. Results showed that psychological interventions had a small to medium beneficial effect on improving migraine frequency, pain intensity, and disability. However, there was insufficient evidence for the impact on quality of life and mood. Further high-quality trials are needed in this field.

Summary: The research explores the implications of the first histology-independent marketing authorization in Europe on National Institute for Health and Care Excellence appraisals. Methods include targeted reviews and the development of a decision framework. Challenges identified include heterogeneity in treatment effects and the use of surrogate endpoints. Bayesian hierarchical methods and a surrogate based modeling approach may be useful for evaluating this heterogeneity. Further research is needed to address the challenges in uncontrolled Phase II studies and apportioning genomic testing costs.

Summary: This study investigates the comparative safety and costs of commonly prescribed antidepressants. The results show that trazodone has the best safety profile and lowest healthcare costs among the evaluated antidepressants in nine European countries, emphasizing the importance of considering rates of adverse events when choosing a pharmacological treatment for depression symptoms.

Summary: This study estimated lifetime costs associated with ten antipsychotic medications in seven European countries and found that lurasidone had the lowest costs and rates of cardiovascular and metabolic adverse events for patients initiating acute treatment, with ziprasidone as the second lowest cost option. Similar trends were observed for patients initiating maintenance treatment. The main drivers of cost differences were rates of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, with lurasidone showing the lowest rates of these events.
