Contingency Management for Attendance
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a low-cost contingency
management procedure as compared to standard treatment. Using a cross-over design, CM is
implemented at different community-based clinics and compared with non-CM in the same
facilities. Research staff collects information regarding patients' demographic
characteristics, attendance, and outcomes at the clinics. During Phase A (non-CM), standard
clinical practice is in place. During Phase B (CM), all patients have the chance to win
prizes by coming to treatment. Each participating clinic is randomly assigned to receive
either the A or B phase first; each phase is in effect for 16 weeks.

Subjects will be patients in treatment at one of the participating clinics during the
study period. There are no other inclusion or exclusion criteria because we wish to make
enrollment open to increase generalizability.
