This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), provides $233,913 to Rutgers, The State University to conduct a multi-method study on momentary distress intolerance and its relationship to combustible cigarette smoking among adults with emotional distress. The 5-year project aims to reconceptualize distress intolerance as a dynamic intraindividual process and examine how it varies over time and is influenced by contextual factors during smoking. The research plan involves a qualitative investigation in Phase I followed by a quantitative Ecological Momentary Assessment study in Phase II to evaluate hypotheses about internal and situational factors that impact momentary distress intolerance in this population. The award supports Rutgers' development of an innovative, momentary model of distress intolerance through a multi-methodological approach and provides mentored training to facilitate the principal investigator's transition to research independence.
