Financial Incentives to Promote Stimulant Abstinence in a Community-Based Syringe Exchange Program
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Incentives for Abstinence and Health Education for Stimulant Use. Completed, enrolled 27 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this randomized control pilot study is to learn about a financial incentives intervention among individuals who use stimulants and take part in a community-based syringe exchange program. The main question it aims to answer is how financial incentives for not using stimulants will impact stimulant use. Participants in the experimental group will have the opportunity to earn financial incentives for providing a negative urine sample for stimulants using a point-of-care test, which indicates abstinence from stimulant use, along with health education on the health risks of stimulant use and substance injection. Researchers will compare the experimental group to the control group who will receive health education on the health risks of stimulants use and injection.
