First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study looks at whether offering financial rewards can help people with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or substance use disorder stick to their long-acting injectable medications after being forced into the hospital. About 1,000 participants will either get the financial incentive or standard care. The goal is to see if this approach improves medication adherence and reduces the need for future involuntary hospitalizations.
