Brief summary
The aim of this current study is to establish whether a web-based CBT intervention is effective in treating amphetamine use and its associated harms. Of particular interest is the potential role that contingency management may have on treatment success. Another aim of this research is to identify predictors of treatment outcome for amphetamine users (self-efficacy and impulsivity). It is hypothesised that i) participants who undertake the Internet-delivered CBT intervention in combination with contingency management (monetary incentives for remaining in treatment) will show greater reductions in their use of amphetamines as well as reductions in harms associated with use, higher rates of abstinence and will remain in treatment longer in comparison to the waitlist control group, ii) treatment retention and outcomes will be influenced by self-efficacy and an impulsive temperament.
