Study Type: Interventional




Official Title: Behavior Change: Reinforcement Schedule Effects

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine if different reinforcement procedures (i.e., schedules) produce different patterns of long-term abstinence from methamphetamine. We anticipate that the three contingency management conditions will promote longer periods of abstinence in the year following treatment relative to the standard control group. Furthermore, we predict that the intermittent reinforcement procedures will produce longer periods of continued abstinence (i.e., long-term behavior change) in the year following treatment than the continuous reinforcement procedure. Finally, we predict that the intermittent unpredictable schedule will produce longer lasting behavior change than the intermittent predictable schedule. Methamphetamine use will be measured using urine toxicology and self-report of methamphetamine use.
