Can rewards for personal goals reduce meth overdoses?
NCT ID NCT05700994
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether offering incentives for achieving self-identified harm reduction goals (like completing overdose prevention training or setting daily life goals) can reduce overdose and increase treatment engagement among people who use methamphetamine. Over 1,200 participants are involved, comparing peer-facilitated goal-setting with incentives to standard care. The approach focuses on harm reduction rather than abstinence.

- Peer-facilitated contingency management (behavioral intervention with incentives)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could reduce overdose rates and help more people engage with treatment and harm reduction services.
- What could go wrong
- This is a large but early-stage behavioral study; results depend on participant motivation and may not generalize to all settings. Incentives may not sustain long-term behavior change.
