L’objectif
Contingency management (CM) is the most effective treatment for reducing methamphetamine use. This study sought to understand why CM has not been taken up to manage methamphetamine use disorder in Australia.
Constatations/points à retenir
Many healthcare workers were keen to offer CM as an effective treatment option for people with methamphetamine use disorder, but CM would need to be sufficiently flexible to allow it to be tailored to client needs and implemented in a way that did not adversely impact the therapeutic relationship.
La conception ou méthodologie de recherche
Six focus groups (4–8 participants per group) were conducted with health workers from agencies in Australia that provided drug-related health care to people who use methamphetamine.
