Hospital rewards program aims to curb meth use in trauma patients

This study tests whether offering rewards (contingency management) can help people who use methamphetamine reduce their use after a traumatic injury. Twenty adults admitted to the hospital with a positive meth test will receive urine tests and rewards for negative results, starting during their hospital stay and continuing for 12 weeks after discharge. Researchers will measure changes in substance use, health, lifestyle, and community involvement, and interview participants about their experience.
