First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study will test a culturally adapted version of contingency management, a program that gives rewards for staying drug-free, in 70 Black adults with stimulant use disorder. Participants will provide urine samples twice weekly for 12 weeks and receive escalating rewards for negative results. The goal is to see if the adapted program improves abstinence and treatment retention compared to the standard version.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a more effective, culturally tailored treatment option for Black adults with stimulant use disorder.
What could go wrong
