在这份报告中，我们提供了一个基于凭证的激励方法，以药物滥用治疗的研究概述。这种方法最初是作为一种新的方法，用于改善可卡因依赖门诊患者的保留和增加可卡因戒断。用于这些目的的代金券的效力现已得到充分确认，目前正在计划将干预措施纳入社区诊所的效力测试。代金券的使用也已扩展到酒精、大麻、尼古丁和阿片类药物依赖的治疗。特别值得注意的是，代金券有望成为对药物滥用者特殊群体的有效干预措施，包括孕妇和产后妇女、青少年和患有严重精神疾病的人。总的来说，基于代金券的激励措施有望成为一种创新的治疗干预措施，在广泛的药物滥用问题和人群中具有疗效。(C)2002爱思唯尔科技有限公司版权所有。
In this report we provide an overview of research on the voucher-based incentives approach to substance abuse treatment. This approach was originally developed as a novel method for improving retention and increasing cocaine abstinence among cocaine-dependent outpatients. The efficacy of vouchers for those purposes is now well established, and plans are underway to move the intervention into effectiveness testing in community clinics. The use of vouchers also has been extended to the treatment of alcohol, marijuana, nicotine, and opioid dependence. Particularly noteworthy is that vouchers hold promise as an efficacious intervention with special populations of substance abusers, including pregnant and recently postpartum women, adolescents, and those with serious mental illness. Overall, voucher-based incentives hold promise as an innovative treatment intervention that has efficacy across a wide range of substance abuse problems and populations.
