Further study details as provided by National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA):

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Drug use
  • Retention
  • HIV risk behaviors
  • Psychosocial functioning

Estimated Enrollment: 422
Study Start Date: April 2001
Estimated Study Completion Date: October 2002
Estimated Primary Completion Date: October 2002 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Detailed Description:

Participants seeking treatment at the participating CTPs will be randomly assigned to either "standard" or "MET/MI" treatment, with a 1- and 3-month follow-up. Primary outcome measures will include (1) treatment retention (e.g., number of sessions/weeks completed, the rate of patients completing 3 or more subsequent sessions, and (2) substance use (e.g., urinalyses, days of opioid, cocaine, marijuana, alcohol use, rates of abstinence). Secondary outcomes will include motivation, psychosocial functioning, HIV risk behaviors, treatment utilization, and patient satisfaction. Process assessments will include measures of the working alliance as well as therapist adherence/competence ratings which will evaluate how effectively MET/MI was implemented. Participating CTPs will implement one of two independent protocols, depending on which is the best suited or feasible for the intake procedures at their clinic. Thus, following an invitation to participate, explanation of the study, and provision of informed consent, patients would complete a brief assessment battery followed by either:1) Random assignment to 3 individual sessions of standard treatment (treatment as usual) at the program versus 3 individual sessions of MET; or 2) Random assignment to 1 individual standard assessment/evaluation session.
