Summary

This study tests whether giving financial incentives for negative drug tests can help people with opioid, cocaine, or methamphetamine use disorder stay abstinent. Six hundred participants use a smartphone app to submit saliva tests. Some receive escalating or de-escalating rewards for clean tests, while a control group gets no rewards. The goal is to find the best way to design these incentives to encourage long-term abstinence.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
financial incentives via smartphone app
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a low-cost, scalable way to help people with substance use disorders achieve and maintain abstinence.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral study, not a drug trial. The effect may be modest, and long-term abstinence after incentives stop is uncertain.
