Targeting Self-regulatory Deficits Through Cognitive Remediation Intervention
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating TAU plus Cognitive Remediation Program and TAU plus Control Tasks for Drug Use Disorders. Completed, enrolled 46 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
We are proposing a small randomized clinical trial in which 100 substance users will complete the existing Psychotherapy Development Center (PDC) pretreatment assessment battery as well as a novel battery of assays to evaluate cognitive-affective functioning. After completing pretreatment assessments, participants will be randomized to either a (1) cognitive remediation program (training tasks) specifically designed to address cognitive-affective dysregulation or (2) control tasks (verbal fluency tasks). Tasks will be completed twice per week for 4 weeks, after which assessment batteries will be repeated. Finally, we will evaluate real-world behavior and the durability of the training via a one-month follow-up, which will include assessment of substance use as well as the cognitive-affective battery.
