Consequently, public costs associated with their treatment have become a matter of concern for public health systems, which face long waiting lists. Because of their high prevalence in the population, finding an effective treatment for emotional disorders has become a key goal of today''s clinical psychology. The Unified Protocol for the Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders might serve the aforementioned purpose, as it can be applied to a variety of disorders simultaneously and it can be easily performed in a group format. Methods: The study is a multicenter, randomized, non-inferiority controlled clinical trial. Participants will be 220 individuals with emotional disorders, who are randomized to either a treatment as usual (individual cognitive behavioral therapy) or to a Unified Protocol condition in group format. Depression, anxiety, and diagnostic criteria are the primary outcome measures. Secondary measures include the assessment of positive and negative affect, anxiety control, personality traits, overall adjustment, and quality of life. An analysis of treatment satisfaction is also conducted. Assessment points include baseline, post-treatment, and three follow-ups at 3, 6, and 12 months. To control for missing data and possible biases, intention-to-treat and per-protocol analyses will be performed. Discussion: This is the first randomized, controlled clinical trial to test the effectiveness of a transdiagnostic intervention in a group format for the treatment of emotional disorders in public settings in Spain. Results obtained from this study may have important clinical, social, and economic implications for public mental health settings in Spain. 000070213 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/JIUZ-2016-SOC-10$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/ISCIII-FIS/PI17-00320$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/FIS/PI13-00982 000070213 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000070213 590__ $$a2.318$$b2018 000070213 591__ $$aHEALTH POLICY & SERVICES$$b26 / 81 = 0.321$$c2018$$dQ2$$eT1 000070213 591__ $$aHEALTH CARE SCIENCES & SERVICES$$b42 / 96 = 0.438$$c2018$$dQ2$$eT2 000070213 592__ $$a1.083$$b2018 000070213 593__ $$aPublic Health, Environmental and Occupational Health$$c2018$$dQ1 000070213 593__ $$aMedicine (miscellaneous)$$c2018$$dQ1 000070213 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000070213 700__ $$aSuso-Ribera, C. 000070213 700__ $$aGarcía-Palacios, A. 000070213 700__ $$aCrespo-Delgado, E. 000070213 700__ $$aRobert-Flor, C. 000070213 700__ $$aSánchez-Guerrero, A. 000070213 700__ $$aFerreres-Galan, V. 000070213 700__ $$aPérez-Ayerra, L. 000070213 700__ $$aMalea-Fernández, A. 000070213 700__ $$aTorres-Alfosea, M.A. 000070213 7102_ $$14009$$2680$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
