Behavioral Intervention for Low Income Depressed Smokers in Drug Treatment
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Standard Treatment, BAD-AS, and 1 other intervention for Cigarette Smoking and Drug Use. Completed, enrolled 96 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The objective of the proposed project is to develop a novel, behavioral approach to smoking cessation that can be integrated with residential drug use treatment for low income substance using smokers with elevated depressive symptoms. The approach utilizes behavioral activation strategies which have been shown to reduce smoking among community samples and which can be easily targeted for the particular needs of low income substance users.
