简要总结
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of a seven-day combined contingency management (CM) with two sessions of brief Motivation Interviewing (MI) followed by standardized individual drug counseling on cannabis use and relapse in the following 90-day period in individuals with moderate to severe Cannabis Use Disorder (DSM-5).
详细描述
The primary aim of this study is to examine cannabis use and rates of abstinence and relapse in individuals with moderate to severe Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD) after intensive 7-day contingency management (CM) procedure to reinforce abstinence from cannabis use. In addition, this study will evaluate the effect of CM with two sessions of brief MI on the severity of cannabis withdrawal signs during the first 7-days of CM treatment and then during the following month.
The study will also focus on prospectively monitoring the sustenance of abstinence and time to lapse and relapse to cannabis use over a 90-day period, using ecological momentary assessment (EMA) via a smartphone-based application. An additional aim will be to evaluate changes in symptoms of CUD during the period following the 7-day using the diagnostic criteria of the DSM-5.

结局指标
主要结局
Urine Toxicology for Quantitative THC levels
时间窗: Slope Change 12 Weeks
A urine drug screen will be given at each visit during week 1 to reinforce using CM for cannabis abstinence and monitor progressive reduction in THC levels, and at each visit during the duration of the study to assess levels of THC for determination of the primary clinical outcome of cannabis relapse. The slope of change over weeks 1 through 12 in quantitative THC levels and metabolites will be the outcome measure.
Cannabis Use
时间窗: Slope Change 12 Weeks
The Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-V (SCID-II) will be used to ascertain DSM-5 Axis 1 psychiatric and substance abuse diagnoses (First, et al., 2015) and specifically to determine presence/absence of DSM-5 Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD). The SCID-II interview for cannabis use will be administered at intake and weeks 4, 8, and 12 to measure changes in problematic cannabis use. The outcome will be the slope of change over study day in daily quantity of use and the percent use days per week. In addition, we will measure the percent of individuals who experienced a relapse throughout the study by week 12 (3 days of use weekly or 3 consecutive days of use).
Cannabis Use Severity
时间窗: Slope Change 12 Weeks
The Cannabis Use Disorder Identification Test-Revised (CUDIT) is an 8-item scale that will be used to quantify the severity of cannabis use over the past six-months (Adamson et al., 2010). This questionnaire will be administered at intake and weeks 4, 8, and 12. A summed score is used as an outcome where higher equals more cannabis-related problems.
Overall Drug Use
时间窗: Slope Change 12 Weeks
The Time-Line Follow-Back Interview will also be used to assess cannabis, alcohol, other drugs and nicotine use in the previous ninety days, during the study and during follow-up. This is a reliable experimenter-administered assessment (Sobell and Sobell, 1992), which uses a calendar prompt to facilitate recall of drug use during a targeted period, and well-validated in alcohol and drug abuse treatment studies (Fals-Stewart et al., 2000). This questionnaire will be administered at intake and weekly. The outcome will be the slope of change over study day in daily quantity of use and the percent use days per week. In addition, we will measure the percent of individuals who experienced a relapse throughout the study by week 12 (3 days of use weekly or 3 consecutive days of use).
Urine Toxicology for Quantitative THC metabolites
时间窗: Slope Change 12 Weeks
A urine drug screen will be given at each visit during week 1 to reinforce using CM for cannabis abstinence and monitor progressive reduction in THC levels, and at each visit during the duration of the study to assess levels of THC for determination of the primary clinical outcome of cannabis relapse. The slope of change over weeks 1 through 12 in quantitative THC levels and metabolites will be the outcome measure.
