Contingency Management for Stimulant Use Disorder and Association With Mortality: A Cohort Study


American Journal of Psychiatry


This national retrospective cohort study found that veterans with stimulant use disorder who received contingency management (CM) were 41% less likely to die in the year following treatment initiation relative to matched comparison subjects. These findings provide the strongest real-world evidence to date that CM is associated with reduced all-cause mortality, underscoring its potential as a life-saving intervention in routine care. Results support expanding access to CM across healthcare systems and public health settings.
