A Future Thinking Intervention for Comorbid Tobacco Use Disorder and Bipolar Disorder

Description

This is a treatment development study that begins with an open non-randomized pilot trial (N = 10) in which we will test the manual developed for Future Self-BD by assessing the acceptability and feasibility of Future Self-BD. After completion of the non-randomized pilot trial and subsequent revisions to the Future Self-BD manual, we will conduct a parallel randomized controlled trial comparing Future Self-BD (N = 30) to a control treatment, Daily Check-Ins (N = 30). Future Self-BD and Daily Check-Ins involve six, weekly, 1.5-2 hour sessions and one 1.5 hour follow-up session one month after completion of the sixth session; thus, participants will be enrolled in the study for a period of 10 weeks. Assessments will occur at all study sessions.
