Integrated Smoking Cessation and Mood Management for Cardiac Patients
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Behavioral Activation (BA), Standard Smoking Cessation Counseling, and 2 other interventions for Smoking Cessation and Acute Coronary Syndrome. Completed, enrolled 65 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Smoking and depressed mood are both predictive of mortality following Acute Coronary Syndrome. However, to date, no counseling treatment has been designed to target smoking cessation and manage mood in this population. This trial will test such a treatment based on Behavioral Activation, an approach that has shown promise as an integrated treatment for smoking and mood management in other populations.
