Approach coping and substance use outcomes following mindfulness-based relapse prevention among individuals with negative affect symptomatology.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Mindfulness-based relapse prevention (MBRP) for substance use disorders (SUDs) appears to be particularly effective among individuals with high levels of co-occurring affective symptoms. We sought to understand whether changes in approach and avoidance coping may explain the effects of MBRP among this subpopulation.

Method
