To determine if prize-based abstinence incentives will differentially affect substance abuse outcomes in patients with different treatment histories.
Treatment seeking outpatients with more or less prior treatment episodes were randomized to receive either prize-based incentives plus treatment as usual (TAU) or TAU alone. Outcome variables included longest sustained period of abstinence, number of negative urine drug screens (UDS), and retention in treatment.
Treatment experienced participants were older, more likely to be female, African American, unemployed, and with more severe cocaine and psychiatric problems. The effectiveness of incentives did not differ significantly between the two treatment history groups with regard to the outcome measures.
确定基于奖励的戒酒激励措施是否会对有不同治疗史的患者的药物滥用结果产生不同影响。
将有或多或少既往治疗经历的寻求治疗的门诊患者随机分为两组,一组接受基于奖励的激励措施加常规治疗(TAU),另一组仅接受常规治疗。结果变量包括最长持续戒酒期、阴性尿液药物筛查(UDS)次数以及治疗留存率。
有治疗经历的参与者年龄更大,更可能为女性、非裔美国人、失业者,且有更严重的可卡因问题和精神问题。在结果指标方面,两组治疗史患者中激励措施的有效性无显著差异。
