Behavioral Activation Intervention for Smoking Cessation in Smokers With Depressive Symptoms

NCT01199380

RandomizedParallel-groupSingle-blindTreatment

Summary

Depression related vulnerabilities are highly comorbid with smoking behavior and dramatically reduce cessation rates among both community and clinical samples. Previous research has examined the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral treatment for individuals with a history of major depressive disorder (MDD) in standard cessation treatment. A broader health impact can be achieved by targeting individuals with current elevated depressive symptoms to address their association with cessation failure. Thus the objective of the present proposal is to conduct a Stage II randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing the behavioral activation intervention to standard treatment among a similar community sample of 200 adult smokers with elevated depressive symptoms. Participants will be followed over 52 weeks post-quit date and the larger sample size will allow for more complex analysis of cessation outcomes.
