Abstract

Ninety cannabis-dependent adults seeking treatment were randomly assigned to receive cognitive-behavioral therapy, abstinence-based voucher incentives, or their combination. Treatment duration was 14 weeks, and outcomes were assessed for 12 months posttreatment. Findings suggest that (a) abstinence-based vouchers were effective for engendering extended periods of continuous marijuana abstinence during treatment, (b) cognitive-behavioral therapy did not add to this during-treatment effect, and (c) cognitive-behavioral therapy enhanced the posttreatment maintenance of the initial positive effect of vouchers on abstinence. This study extends the literature on cannabis dependence, indicating that a program of abstinence-based vouchers is a potent treatment option. Discussion focuses on the strengths of each intervention, the clinical significance of the findings, and the need to continue efforts toward development of effective interventions.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • CBT + MET enhanced by abstinence-based CM promoted superior results compared with other psychosocial approaches.

    “CBT + MET enhanced by abstinence-based CM promoted superior results when compared with any other psychosocial approach, such as MET + CBT + adherence-based CM, CBT + adherence-based CM, abstinence-based CM alone, MET + CBT, and finally DC alone 39– 41.”
  • The effects of CBT + MET are positively enhanced by contingency management.

    “Studies show that the effects of the CBT + MET intervention are positively enhanced by contingency management (CM), a financial incentive for successful abstinence or treatment adherence.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
