From that initial sample, 53 students (ages 16-34) were included in analyses. First-year students were screened for anxious and depressive symptoms at the beginning of their semester. Students who scored higher than the cutoff score were invited to be part of the study. Both treatment and comparison groups completed pretest, post-test, and follow-up questionnaires. Results show significant differences between treatment and comparison groups in both depressive and anxious symptoms at follow-up. The results of this pilot study support the positive effects of on anxious and depressive symptoms. Larger studies should be conducted to identify which components of the program mediate its efficacy.

Sierra Pacific Mental Illness, Research, Education, and Clinical Center (MIRECC), Veterans Affairs Palo Alto Healthcare System, Palo Alto, California, USA.

However, gender differences in comorbid psychopathology and associations with AUD outcomes among veterans are less well understood.

Methods: Veterans (N = 126; 32 women) receiving inpatient treatment for AUD completed baseline clinical measures including the Beck Depression Inventory-II, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Early Life Stress Questionnaire, and PTSD Checklist for DSM-5.
