Abstract

Background and objectives: Clinical follow-up data after substance use disorder (SUD) treatment provides important information about treatment effectiveness, yet compliance is a challenge. We compared financial incentives for obtaining follow-up data from adults receiving inpatient SUD treatment.

Methods: Participants (N = 237) were randomized to receive a guaranteed incentive, raffle-based incentive, or no incentive for completing a 1-month follow-up assessment. Logistic regression tested the effect of incentives on follow-up completion.

Results: Those in the raffle condition had >2 times higher odds of completing a follow-up assessment compared to those in the no-incentive or guaranteed-incentive conditions.

Discussion and conclusions: The raffle-based financial incentive was most effective in obtaining follow-up data.

Scientific significance: Raffle-based incentives may improve follow-up after treatment and help clinicians evaluate SUD treatment outcomes.

简要报告：两种财政激励对短期药物使用障碍住院治疗后患者随访的效果。

背景与目的：药物使用障碍（SUD）治疗后的临床随访数据提供了治疗效果的重要信息，但依从性是一个挑战。我们比较了从接受住院SUD治疗的成人中获得随访数据的财务激励。方法：参与者（N = 237）被随机分为有保证奖励、抽奖奖励和无奖励，以完成1个月的随访评估。Logistic回归检验激励对随访完成的影响。结果：那些在抽奖条件下完成随访评估的几率比那些在没有激励或保证激励条件下的几率高20倍。讨论与结论：以抽奖为基础的财务激励在获得随访数据方面是最有效的。科学意义：以抽奖为基础的奖励可以改善治疗后的随访，帮助临床医生评估SUD的治疗效果。
