- Should contingency management protocols and dissemination practices be modified to accommodate rising stimulant use and harm reduction frameworks?by Gabriela Kattan Khazanov on April 17, 2024
CONCLUSIONS: Our proposed modifications to contingency management (CM) protocols and accessibility may more effectively address rising stimulant use and align CM more closely with harm-reduction frameworks. Given the urgent need to reduce overdose deaths, developing and testing modified CM protocols may need to rely upon methods other than randomized controlled trials. Efforts to disseminate CM widely to reduce population-level stimulant use must be balanced with the need to maintain fidelity to...
- Neural and Cognitive Predictors of Stimulant Treatment Efficacy in Medication-Naïve ADHD Adults: A Pilot Diffusion Tensor Imaging Studyby Yuwen Hung on February 7, 2024
CONCLUSION: These findings provide evidence of pre-treatment neural and behavioral markers predictive of longitudinal treatment response to stimulant medications in adults with ADHD.
- Stimulant Treatment and Potential Adverse Outcomes in Pediatric Populations With Bipolar Disorder: A Systematic Review of the Literatureby Hannah O'Connor on December 29, 2023
CONCLUSION: Poor outcomes associated with stimulant treatment in pediatric populations with BPD necessitate work to identify patients at risk of serious stimulant-related adverse events. Our results were limited by automated search filters and a pediatric, primarily male sample.
- Initiation Patterns and Transitions Among Adults Using Stimulant Drugs: Latent Transition Analysisby Joshua C Black on October 5, 2023
CONCLUSIONS: Initiation of stimulant-related use behaviors occurred across many time windows, indicating that multiple intervention opportunities are presented. Screening should be continued throughout adulthood to address unhealthy drug use before developing into full substance use disorders.
