Trial Outcomes & Findings for CBT With Disulfiram and Contingency Management (NCT NCT00350870)

NCT ID: NCT00350870

Last Updated: 2014-12-03

Results Overview

Self-reports of substance use will be documented at each contact via the Substance Use Calendar. Similar to the Form-90 and the Time Line Follow-Back, which have been shown to be reliable and valid instruments for monitoring substance use and other outcomes in longitudinal studies202-204, the Substance Use Calendar allows a flexible, continuous evaluation of substance use on a daily basis.
