P3. Cigarette Cue Attentional Bias in Smokers With and Without HIV

Abstract

Attentional bias (AB) for cigarette cues may provide insights into the severity of tobacco use. It may also predict relapse. AB is often assessed using response times to a dot probe task. Eye tracking allows for measuring gaze time on smoking and neutral cues presented simultaneously on a screen. Herein we sought to validate a cigarette cue AB task utilizing images from a validated database. We enrolled a sample of smokers with HIV, as they smoke at three times the general population rate. We compared AB in cigarette smokers with (N=10) and without (N=9) HIV.
