PARTICIPATE IN ONE OF OUR STUDIES!
ABHC CURRENT STUDIES
At ABHC we believe strongly in the importance of conducting research. This is a vital step in learning more about the nature of anxiety with the ultimate hope that this knowledge will reduce the suffering created by anxiety.
Being treated at our clinic will involve a reciprocal and mutually beneficial relationship. Individuals coming to the clinic are co-investigators. We learn from our patients just as they learn from us. Our current, on-going research studies are described below.
Please email us or call at 850 / 645-1766 if you are interested in any of these studies, or if you have questions. You can also complete our simple and completely confidential recruitment form.
CURRENT STUDIES
STAMP
SMOKING TREATMENT & ANXIETY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
Smoking remains a leading preventable cause of death and disability in the United States. Recent research has also suggested that it acts as a risk factor in the development of panic and related anxiety disorders.
In collaboration with researchers from the University of Vermont, we are conducting a brief smoking cessation and anxiety management treatment. The intervention is free for eligible participants and involves four individualized sessions with a trained therapist.
If you are eighteen years old or older, a regular smoker, and interested in quitting, please complete the online recruitment form or contact us for more information on the STAMP study.

COMPUTERIZED TREATMENT FOR PANIC DISORDER
Volunteers needed for an experimental treatment for panic disorder. Participants will receive a free comprehensive evaluation and assessment. This will be a 4 – week 8 session (2 per week) computer based treatment designed to change some of the automatic processes that maintain people's anxiety. In addition, assessments will be conducted prior to starting treatment, midway through the treatment program, immediately following completion of the treatment program, and 3 months after completion of the treatment program. There will be no cost associated with the treatment and participants are eligible to receive up to $85 for participating.
