This condition is associated with different physical and mental health problems. The presence of emotional disorders (anxiety, depression and related disorders) among candidates for bariatric surgery is very high and predicts worse physical and psychological results. The present study aims to explore the feasibility and clinical usefulness of the Unified Protocol, a transdiagnostic emotion regulation-based intervention, delivered in an online group format to patients with emotional disorder diagnosis or symptoms, who are waiting for bariatric surgery. We will conduct a pilot study with a repeated single-case experimental design (multiple baseline design) in a public mental health service. The sample will consist of 60 participants, who will be randomized to three baseline conditions: 8, 12 or 15 evaluation days before the intervention. Diagnostic criteria, symptomatology and body mass index are the primary outcome measures, and we will include affectivity, personality, quality of life, body image, eating behavior and surgical complications like secondary measures. An analysis of treatment satisfaction will be also performed. Assessment points will include pre-treatment, baseline, treatment, post-treatment, and follow-ups every three months until two years after post-treatment. The results obtained in this study may have important clinical, social and economic implications for public mental health. 000095978 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S31-20D 000095978 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000095978 590__ $$a3.39$$b2020 000095978 591__ $$aPUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH$$b41 / 176 = 0.233$$c2020$$dQ1$$eT1 000095978 591__ $$aENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES$$b118 / 273 = 0.432$$c2020$$dQ2$$eT2 000095978 591__ $$aPUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH$$b68 / 203 = 0.335$$c2020$$dQ2$$eT2 000095978 592__ $$a0.747$$b2020 000095978 593__ $$aHealth, Toxicology and Mutagenesis$$c2020$$dQ2 000095978 593__ $$aPublic Health, Environmental and Occupational Health$$c2020$$dQ2 000095978 593__ $$aPollution$$c2020$$dQ2 000095978 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000095978 700__ $$aFerreres-Galán, Vanesa 000095978 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-7293-318X$$aOsma, Jorge$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000095978 7102_ $$14009$$2680$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
