What is Contingency Management?
• CM is a broad term that can apply to efforts to modify any behavior,
not just substance use/abuse
• Contingency = the (presumed) relationship between a behavior and
its consequences
• Management = controlling or arranging something
• Contingency Management = modifying behavior by controlling or
arranging the consequences that influence that behavior
![Page 5: Contingency Managementmedia-ns.mghcpd.org.s3.amazonaws.com/substance-use... · 2016-02-03 · • Contingency management is a manualized therapy for substance use that uses the principles](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050114/5f4b17b3944a817261490431/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Theoretical Underpinnings of CM
• CM based in psychology, specifically in operant conditioning
• Operant conditioning: occurs whenever a behavior’s consequences influence that behavior; that is, future expression of a behavior is contingent on what happens after the behavior is emitted
- Consequences that the behavior = reinforcers
- Consequences that the behavior = punishers

Methods:
- Cigarette smokers in an outpatient lab study
- 3-week study with breath CO assessed daily (M-F)
- Weeks 1 & 3: no incentives available
- Week 2: $5 available for each negative CO reading that was half their average value during the first week
- Contingent incentives were associated with
- Significantly longer intervals between cigarettes
- Significantly fewer cigarettes smoked
Conclusion
- Monetary incentives can reduce smoking.
Scientific Evidence Supporting CM - Laboratory Research

Why use money as a reinforcer?
• Conditioned reinforcer -- no intrinsic value, but from experience we quickly learn that it can be used to get things that are themselves reinforcing
• Generalizable reinforcer -- everyone can get whatever it is that they find reinforcing

Voucher Program (Weeks 1-12 only)
• Specimens that were negative for benzoylecgoine earned vouchers.
• 1st neg. test = $2.50. Value of vouchers for each subsequent consecutive negative test increased by $1.25; e.g., 2nd = $3.75, 3rd = $5.00, etc.
• $10 bonus earned for every 3 consecutive negative tests.
• Cocaine-positive tests or failure to give a specimen reset vouchers back to initial value
• 5 consecutive negative tests returned vouchers back to the value preceding reset
• Vouchers were exchangeable for retail items in community; max. earnings possible = $997.50
• No cash was ever given to patients
• All purchases were made by staff and had to be deemed by therapists to be consistent w/ CRA treatment goals

Replications – Maternal Smoking
• Maternal cigarette smoking is a serious U.S. health problem -- leading preventable cause of poor pregnancy outcomes.
• ~22% of women of childbearing age are regular smokers.
• Smoking prevalence varies by socioeconomic status (educational attainment), with >40% of women with GED reporting regular smoking versus 8% of college grads and 6% of those with graduate degrees.
• ~20 of smokers quit without formal treatment soon after learning of a pregnancy (spontaneous quitters) while the vast majority will smoke through the pregnancy in the absence of a formal intervention.

Replications – Maternal Smoking
Contingent
• Voucher delivery contingent on objectively verified smoking status

Other Things to Consider
• Choice of reinforcer
• Incentive magnitude
• Frequency of incentive distribution
• Timing of the incentive
• Duration of the incentive

www.mghcme.org
Choice of Reinforcer
Three basic types of incentive programs have been
researched:
• vouchers or other token economy systems - points or
vouchers are given for engaging in activities as well as
for meeting specific treatment plan goals; points are
then redeemed for goods or privileges;
• contingent access to clinic privileges - utilization of
privileges that already exist within a clinic setting;
• fee rebates - part of a patient’s clinics fees is returned
to them in the form of a cash rebate when specified
behavioral requirements are met.

• Achievement of treatment goals
• Medication adherence (naltrexone, HAART)
• Adherence with vaccination schedules (Hep B)

Summary
• Contingency management is a manualized therapy for substance use that uses the principles of reinforcement to help people gain and maintain sobriety
• Relatively easy to operationalize, it has been effective for any number of conditions and targets
• Keys are a focused target, immediate contingencies, substantial contingencies
