About Dr. Blalock
Janice A. Blalock, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist with 23 years research experience in treatments for depression and anxiety disorders, and nicotine dependence. Her research area of interest is the development of smoking cessation treatments for smokers with comorbid psychiatric and medical disorders. She has served as a Co-P.I. or PI on a number of NIH grants evaluating smoking cessation interventions in smokers with comorbid psychiatric and health conditions including pregnant women, chronically depressed smokers and cancer patients. She is currently conducting a NIH-funded treatment development study to evaluate Behavioral Activation as depression-focused intervention for pregnant women with major depression. She has published numerous articles evaluating the impact of clinical depression and childhood trauma on withdrawal and abstinence outcomes among smokers with current depressive disorders, and the effect of psychiatric disorders on abstinence outcomes in cancer patients.
