Presentation Outline
• Define Motivational Incentives
• Review utility in substance abuse treatment– Service access and entry– Repeated service access– Abstinence from abused substances
• Discuss application in health care settings
![Page 3: Motivational Incentives: Utility in Health Care Settings Maxine Stitzer, Ph.D. Johns Hopkins Univ SOM Christiana Care Health Systems Conference Addressing](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649eec5503460f94bfe954/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Motivational Incentives =Contingency Management
• What are they? – Positive reinforcement for desired behaviors– Can be social (attention; praise) or tangible items
• What’s the goal?– Counter ambivalence and barriers to service access– Guide people to better health and well-being by
encouraging healthful and pro-social behaviors
– Individual benefits and societal costs may be reduced

Motivational Incentives positive reinforcement to promote desirable behavior change
![Page 5: Motivational Incentives: Utility in Health Care Settings Maxine Stitzer, Ph.D. Johns Hopkins Univ SOM Christiana Care Health Systems Conference Addressing](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649eec5503460f94bfe954/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Reward programs
Acknowledges patients for achieving a major goal or completing significant progress
• Rewards usually given to the “best” and most motivated patients
• They don’t change the behavior of those struggling the most with drug use and treatment compliance
![Page 6: Motivational Incentives: Utility in Health Care Settings Maxine Stitzer, Ph.D. Johns Hopkins Univ SOM Christiana Care Health Systems Conference Addressing](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649eec5503460f94bfe954/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Reinforcement programs on the other hand, use incentives to…
• Break down goals into very small steps • Reinforce each step along the way• Make it easy to learn & earn• Give reinforcements early and often• Include the most troubled and difficult to reach
most troubled & difficult to reach patients
Reinforcement programs
![Page 7: Motivational Incentives: Utility in Health Care Settings Maxine Stitzer, Ph.D. Johns Hopkins Univ SOM Christiana Care Health Systems Conference Addressing](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649eec5503460f94bfe954/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Why pay people to do what they should be doing anyway?
Because they aren’t doing it!
Incentives are a practical fix to atherapeutic conundrum
They change the therapeutic dynamic for difficult patients toward acknowledging and celebrating success rather than blaming or
dwelling on failure

Incentives for Treatment Entry Follow-Through
(Corrigan et al., 2005) • Substance users with traumatic brain injury (N = 195)
with intake completed at an OP treatment program• Outcome = return to sign an individual service plan
(ISP) within 30 days • Randomly assigned via phone delivered intervention
– Attention control– Motivational interview– Barrier reduction- pay for taxi, bus, parking, etc– Incentives- $20 gift certificate upon ISP completion

Services Access Getting People to the Door
• Financial incentives can motivate people to take advantage of substance abuse treatment services– vouchers for free treatment
– money or gift cards for showing/returning
– “barrier reduction” incentives addressing transportation
• Personal contact may also add value– Case management
– Counselor “warm hand-offs”

Abstinence Incentives:Initiating and Sustaining Drug
Abstinence
Majority of research has used drug abstinence during treatment as target
by reinforcing drug negativeurine tests
![Page 30: Motivational Incentives: Utility in Health Care Settings Maxine Stitzer, Ph.D. Johns Hopkins Univ SOM Christiana Care Health Systems Conference Addressing](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649eec5503460f94bfe954/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Voucher Reinforcement for abstinence initiation and
maintenance in cocaine abusers
• Principle of alternative reinforcement:– Benefits of abstinence are long-term– Making abstinence today a more attractive option
• Points earned for cocaine negative urine results– Escalating schedule of point earnings – Trade in points for goods– $1000 available over 3 months

Abstinence Incentives
• Promotes initial abstinence when drug use is on-going• Promotes increased duration of drug-free treatment
participation after drug use stops – i.e. works for relapse prevention
• Positive impact on long-term outcomes– Longer during-treatment abstinence translates into better
long-term outcome

Abstinence incentives as an add-on to counseling promote retention and
drug-free participation
This is the building block for long-term recovery
![Page 44: Motivational Incentives: Utility in Health Care Settings Maxine Stitzer, Ph.D. Johns Hopkins Univ SOM Christiana Care Health Systems Conference Addressing](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649eec5503460f94bfe954/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Summary
• Positive incentives in the form of vouchers or prize draws can be therapeutically helpful in several ways to promote:– services access and entry– continued involvement in services– abstinence and relapse prevention
![Page 45: Motivational Incentives: Utility in Health Care Settings Maxine Stitzer, Ph.D. Johns Hopkins Univ SOM Christiana Care Health Systems Conference Addressing](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649eec5503460f94bfe954/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Potential Application in Health Care
• Access specialty services– e.g. vaccinations; prenatal and pediatric care
• Keep follow-up medical appointments• Address drug use as a barrier
• Take prescribed medicines• Promote lifestyle change

Incentive Applications at Christiana Care
• 100 mothers per year go through opioid detox
• But may not have optimal outcomes due to fragmented care and lack of follow-through

Can you do it here?Traditional barriers to
implementation are coming down
• Attitudes
• Cost/financing
• Training resources

Incentives can help overcome barriers and move patients along a
motivational continuum
• What’s in it for them to attend medical visits and/or stop their drug use?
• Drug users especially like immediate gratification• Long-term benefits to health are theoretical, largely intangible
and in the future• Incentives bring benefits forward in time and make them
tangible

Does everyone need incentives?
• Principle of “justice” suggests incentives should be given to everyone but-
• Incentives have best application for those who struggle with adherence despite lower-intensity interventions such as appointment reminders

Financing
• Ideally, incentives would be built into the budget and offset by health care cost savings
• Meanwhile, there are some work-arounds– Community donations (women and children)– Staff donations of goods and/or money– Small grants or agency-funded pilot projects
