Given the clinical implications and the high prevalence of both disorders, effective interventions are needed. Methods The aim of this study is to review Behavioural Activation (BA) intervention effects to improve substance use behaviour and depression. A systematic review was conducted using MEDLINE, EMBASE, and PsycINFO. The Effective Public Health Practice Project Quality Assessment Tool (EPHPP) was used to assess the methodological quality of included studies. Two authors independently screened titles and abstracts, reviewed selected studies, and extracted data. Results Of the 7286 studies identified, eight met inclusion criteria. Designs of the studies included six randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and two pre-post design studies. One trial received weak methodological quality, six moderate, and one strong. Three studies addressed smoking behaviour; two targeted opiate dependence; two focused on alcohol/drug dependence; and, one on crystal methamphetamine abuse. Results showed that BA had a positive effect on substance use outcomes in seven of the eight reviewed studies, and improved depression over time in six studies. Conclusions Although studies conducted so far are limited by their heterogeneity and sample sizes, results are promising. There is a need of well controlled and powered studies to establish and to confirm the effectiveness of BA for the treatment of substance use and depression. Future studies should include stronger methodological designs, larger sample sizes, and long-term follow-ups. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/PSI2015-66755-R info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 2.101 2018 SUBSTANCE ABUSE 18 / 35 = 0.514 2018 Q3 T2 0.92 2018 Psychiatry and Mental Health 2018 Q1 Health Policy 2018 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Martínez, Úrsula López-Durán, Ana Fernández del Río, Elena Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-9645-8109 Becoña, Elisardo 4009 740 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
