Introduction: Contingency management (CM) is an efficacious treatment for stimulant use disorders. Support materials for the clinical delivery of prize-based CM are widely accessible, but few resources are available to support design and preparation for CM implementation. This guide aims to fill that gap.

Method/results: The article outlines a suggested prize CM protocol and discusses the best practices most aligned with the evidence base and acceptable-if-necessary modifications. This guide also highlights modifications that are not evidence-based and not recommended. In addition, I discuss practical and clinical aspects of preparing for CM implementation.

Conclusions: Deviations from evidence-based practices are common, and poorly designed CM is unlikely to impact patient outcomes. This article provides planning stage guidance to support programs' adoption of evidence-based prize CM for the treatment of stimulant use disorders.

Article Synopsis
  • Current federal regulations limit contingency management (CM) incentives to $75 per patient per year, which is significantly lower than the amounts used in effective treatment protocols, such as those evaluated in a 2004 study by Petry et al.
  • A re-analysis of this study indicated that the higher incentive of $240 was effective in improving abstinence outcomes, whereas the lower incentive of $80 was not, suggesting that it led to higher rates of non-engagement with treatment.
  • The findings advocate against the federal limit on CM incentives, proposing that evidence-based protocols be utilized instead, alongside necessary regulatory changes to enable their implementation.

Intermittent religious fasting increases the risk of hypo- and hyperglycemia in individuals with diabetes, but its impact on those without diabetes has been poorly investigated. The aim of this preliminary study was to examine the effects of religious Bahá'í fasting (BF) on glycemic control and variability and compare these effects with time-restricted eating (TRE). In a three-arm randomized controlled trial, 16 subjects without diabetes were assigned to a BF, TRE, or control group.

Background: Antipsychotic polypharmacy (APP) is frequent but evidence-based guidelines on reducing APP to antipsychotic monotherapy (APM) are sparse. We aimed to systematically review clinical interventions randomizing patients to reducing APP to APM versus continuing APP.

Methods: Systematic literature review searching Medline and Embase (latest search January 10, 2024) for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) studying interventions comparing individuals randomized to reduction of APP to APM with individuals continuing on APP.
