CBT4CBT
New Hope for Treatment of Addiction
Dr. Kathleen Carroll
Drug addiction is notoriously tough to treat, but now research is showing a fresh way to tackle the problem. It’s called computer-based training for cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT4CBT)

Adherence Research Network |
Program staff from the NIH Institutes, Offices, and Centers are members of an NIH Adherence Research Network. Members of the Network (listed below) actively pursue an agenda for increasing funding opportunities in the behavioral sciences, with many specifically focusing on adherence behavior. We are available to assist those interested in this topic. We are also actively involved both internally and externally in various activities such as conferences, workshops and publications to disseminate research results on this topic. Each member focuses on adherence and the relationship to the mission of the particular Institute or Center
In the next section, we list potential contacts, products and upcoming activities sponsored by members of the Network
Program staff from most of the NIH Institutes, Offices, and Centers are members of the NIH Adherence Research Network. They stand ready to offer advice to potential grant applicants concerning funding opportunities at their organizations and about conducting research on adherence.
Framework for Adherence Research and Translation: A Blueprint for the Next Ten Years
On March 19, 2008, the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research and the National Institute of Mental Health sponsored a full day workshop on the topic of adherence research. Participants discussed research activities focused on improvement in adherence, evaluation of the impact (or lack thereof) and consolidation of research results. A major focus of this discussion was the challenges and need for translation of research findings into a variety of settings. The workshop took full advantage of multiple breakout sessions.
Assessing the Needs for a Trans-NIH Agenda for Adherence Research: A Feasibility Study
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) contracted with the RAND Corporation to conduct a study to lay the groundwork for developing measures and methods for reporting on the results of NIH-wide efforts to promote research on patient adherence to preventive or therapeutic regimens recommended by a healthcare provider. The study had two major objectives: (1) describe NIH investments in adherence-related research based on our recommended approaches; and (2) summarize our experiences and recommendations for a future NIH evaluation of investments in adherence-related research projects. An additional objective (3) was to illustrate the types of questions that can be conducted to shed light on ways NIH might be able to encourage greater investments in therapy compliance (TC) research projects using funding opportunity announcements (FOAs). The data and methods identified and developed for this project provide a unique opportunity to empirically explore this issue.
