Abstract

Background: Few randomised controlled trials have been aimed specifically at substance use reduction among people with psychotic disorders. Aims: To investigate whether a 10-session intervention consisting of motivational interviewing and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) was more efficacious than routine treatment in reducing substance use and improving symptomatology and general functioning. Method: A community sample of people with a psychotic disorder and who reported hazardous alcohol, cannabis and/or amphetamine use during the preceding month was recruited. Participants were randomly allocated to motivational interviewing/CBT (n=65) or treatment as usual (n=65), and were assessed on multiple outcomes at baseline, 15 weeks, 6 months and 12 months. Results: There was a short-term improvement in depression and a similar trend with regard to cannabis use among participants who received the motivational interviewing/CBT intervention, together with effects on general functioning at 12 months. There was no differential benefit of the intervention on substance use at 12 months, except for a potentially clinically important effect on amphetamine use. Conclusions: The motivational interviewing/CBT intervention was associated with modest improvements.

  • These interventions have also been associated with positive mental health outcomes, such as improved well-being, following treatment in people who use methamphetamine.

    The Results report short-term improvement in depression and improved general functioning after motivational interviewing/CBT. However, these mental-health outcomes are reported for participants with psychotic disorders and substance use generally, not specifically for those who use methamphetamine; the paper discusses amphetamine users separately in relation to substance use.

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.
