NCT ID NCT07130500
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether offering financial rewards can help people with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or substance use disorder stick to their long-acting injectable medication after being forced into the hospital. About 1,000 participants will be randomly assigned to receive money for staying on their meds or to a control group. The goal is to see if this approach reduces the chance of being hospitalized again.
