PSYCHOSOCIAL TREATMENT DOSE--A PROSPECTIVE STUDY

本提案描述了2项旨在前瞻性评价 门诊药物滥用治疗的一些基本参数， 确定这些参数是否影响治疗效果。 研究 1比较门诊患者的三种不同治疗事件“剂量” 治疗 4、8和16周的持续时间是3次治疗事件 “剂量”比较。 3次发作“剂量”中每一次的方案将 每周3次，每次90分钟，内容相同 材料提供了一个手动组治疗的方法。 研究2 调查每个群体的规模和频率的重要性 会议“剂量”的内容材料时，在12周内交付 手动协议。在研究2中，通过比较 50分钟和150分钟的小组会议的效果。 在 此外，“剂量”频率的重要性通过比较 每周1次，每周3次。 这项研究使用了2x2 设计，使这两个变量（大小和频率）的影响， 可以评估它们的相互作用（大小×频率）。 的电池 将在两项研究中收集数据，以评估治疗的影响 输送参数：治疗中的保留;治疗期间的兴奋剂使用 治疗;治疗期间使用其他药物和酒精;心理社会 治疗期间的行为变化（ASI和BASIS-32）; HIV相关风险 行为（NIDA/艾滋病）;以及6个月和12个月的评估，以评估长期 研究变量的长期影响。 在这两项研究中， 将对所有S进行评估。

This proposal describes 2 studies designed to prospectively evaluate some basic parameters of outpatient substance abuse treatment and determine if these parameters influence treatment effectiveness. Study 1 compares three different treatment episode "Doses" of outpatient treatment. Durations of 4, 8, and 16 weeks are the 3 treatment episode "doses" compared. Protocols for each of the 3 episode "doses" will involve 3, 90-minute sessions per week and will include the same content material delivered in a manualized group treatment approach. Study 2 investigates the importance of the size and frequency of each group session "dose" of content material when delivered in a 12 week manualized protocol. In study 2, size of "dose" is assessed by comparing the effect of group sessions of 50 minutes and 150 minutes. In addition, the importance of frequency of "dose" is assessed by comparing 1 session per week with 3 sessions per week. This study uses a 2x2 design such that the impact of both variables (size and frequency) and their interaction (size x frequency) can be evaluated. A battery of data will be collected in both studies to assess the impact of treatment delivery parameters on: retention in treatment; stimulant use during treatment; other drug and alcohol use during treatment; psychosocial behavior change during treatment (ASI and BASIS-32); HIV-related risk behaviors (NIDA/AIDS); and 6 and 12 month evaluations to assess the long term effect of the study variables. In both studies, SCID diagnostic evaluations will be completed on all Ss.
