Participant Flow

Participants were recruited from October 2005 to September 2006 via advertisement in local press

After baseline evaluation participants began treatment with oral risperidone, 1 mg per day the first week and 2 mg per day for the next 3 weeks. Electrocardiograms were repeated after 1 and 2 weeks of risperidone use. Participants with corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation greater than 470 milliseconds at either of these occasions were excluded

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks

Population: Mean number of visits at which participants submitted urine samples with undetectable urine benzoylecgonine (UBE)

After randomization, participants provided urine samples every week for the first 3 weeks and then every 2 weeks for 8 weeks, up to 7 samples per participant. The average visits with cocaine negative urine samples per participant are reported below

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks

Population: Mixed model repeated measures analysis of variance was performed.

The University of Minnesota Cocaine Craving Scale was performed to assess cocaine craving. The scale contains 1 continuous scale for intensity and 2 categorical scales for frequency and duration of craving episodes. The continuous scale for craving intensity ranges from 0 (no craving at all in the past week) to 10 (a great deal of craving in the past week)
