Adaptation and Initial Evaluation of Transdiagnostic CBT for Anxious and Depressed Smokers

This study will look at the effectiveness of a new treatment protocol for anxious and depressed smokers. Participants with clinically significant anxiety or depression will receive either the standard smoking cessation treatment or the Unified Protocol for Smoking Cessation Treatment. This study will demonstrate that a single treatment protocol can effectively address both smoking and the complex emotional comorbidities that are widespread in smokers will provide a novel, impactful, and highly disseminable treatment option missing from today's smoking cessation arsenal.
