Summary

This pilot study tested whether offering small financial rewards for negative urine tests could help people who use stimulants reduce their use. Twenty-seven adults from a syringe exchange program took part. One group could earn money for each stimulant-free urine sample, while the other group only received health education. The study aimed to see if the incentive approach could support short-term abstinence.
