Interestingly, alcohol and smoking were negatively associated with the severity and status of depression and anxiety. Meanwhile, depression and anxiety are associated with an increased perception of pain severity. However, little is known regarding the associations of alcohol and smoking with chronic pain in people with depression and anxiety. Depression was assessed with the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Anxiety was measured with items based on the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7). We used logistic and liner regression models to examine associations between smoking, alcohol consumption, and 8 pain phenotypes, including (1) headache; (2) facial pain; (3) neck or shoulder pain; (4) back pain; (5) stomach or abdominal pain; (6) hip pain; (7) knee pain; and (8) multisite chronic pain. Additionally, we did subgroup analysis in the non-depression and anxiety groups and comorbid anxiety-depression group to test if there were differences. Our results found that alcohol consumption was negatively associated with headache in depression group (odds ratio (OR) = 0.71, <i>P</i> = 0.007), which was also found in anxiety group (OR = 0.63, <i>P</i> = 0.002), comorbid anxiety and depression group (OR = 0.68, <i>P</i> = 0.025), and non-depression and anxiety group (OR = 0.72, <i>P</i> = 0.002).

The PRISMA standards were adopted for screening and extraction of relevant data. Twenty-seven studies that measured gambling motives, reasons, or expectancies, related to escape, using validated multiple item measures, were included. Positive associations were found between gambling to escape and problem gambling, and this association remained after controlling for the effect of gambling for financial gain. Additional subgroup analyses were conducted to test the stability of the association by escape measure. Although the magnitude of the positive association changed depending on the scales used, the positive relationship held.
