Although common, the use of cash incentives to compensate drug-addicted participants is controversial. This is particularly true given concerns that cash incentives might precipitate relapse, as is commonly believed. The following investigation examined whether cash versus money order compensation differentially influenced drug use among 34 non-treatment-seeking, cocaine-dependent individuals. Consistent with past evidence, results did not suggest that form of compensation was associated with likelihood of continued cocaine use or dollar amount of cocaine consumed after participation. Findings do not support commonly held concerns that cash incentives increase the risk of relapse following research participation.
尽管使用现金奖励来补偿吸毒参与者的做法很常见，但却存在争议。考虑到人们普遍认为现金奖励可能会促使复吸，情况尤其如此。以下调查研究了在34名未寻求治疗的可卡因依赖个体中，现金补偿与汇票补偿是否会对药物使用产生不同影响。与过去的证据一致，结果并未表明补偿形式与参与后继续使用可卡因的可能性或可卡因消费金额有关。研究结果不支持人们普遍持有的担忧，即现金奖励会增加研究参与后复吸的风险。
