Post Acute Coronary Event Smoking Study

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Smoking Cessation, Acute Coronary Syndrome

In brief

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.
