Conditions
Brief summary
The study has both quantitative and qualitative components. The aim of study is to: 1. Culturally adapt and integrate the existing Motivational Interviewing with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(MICBT) and Mindfulness based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) for people with Substance Use Disorder (SUD) in Pakistan 2. Test the feasibility and acceptability of the integrated intervention called CAMIAB ('CAMIAB' means success in Urdu) in a randomized control trial (RCT).
Detailed description
This study aims to culturally adapt the existing Motivational Interviewing with CBT (MICBT) and integrate this with Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) intervention for people with SUD and to test the feasibility, and acceptability of the intervention in a randomized control trial (RCT). First phase will be cultural adaptation of intervention through focus groups and individual interviews with key stakeholders . Phase two will be to test integrated MICBT and MBRP on a small group of participants N=12. Third phase will be a feasibility factorial randomized control trial with 260 participants with SUD (n=65). Participants will be recruited from primary care hospitals and drug rehabilitation centers in Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi, Hyderabad, and Peshawar Pakistan. Intervention will take place weekly over a period of 12 weeks. The intervention will consist of individual as well as group sessions. Assessments will be completed at baseline, after completion of intervention (12th week) and 24th week post randomization. All assessments will be administered by masked research assistants (RAs), not involved in delivering intervention sessions. The therapists delivering the intervention will be trained and will be provided ongoing supervisions by a senior therapist.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALMotivational interviewing with CBT (MICBT)
The culturally adapted MICBT will include approaches of motivational interviewing and offer ways of managing difficulties from a cognitive behavioural formulation.
MBRP will incorporate cognitive-behavioural skills (i.e., effective coping skills, self-efficacy, and recognizing common antecedents of relapse) with mindfulness-based practices to decrease the probability of relapse by increasing awareness and flexible responding in the presence of substance use triggers.
BEHAVIORALCAMIAB
This will be integrated CBT based motivational interviewing plus mindfulness based relapse prevention intervention group.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Feasibility measures | From baseline to 3rd month (at the end of intervention) | Feasibility will be determined by recruitment rates, adherence rate and retention rates. The criterion for success of feasibility is to recruit \>50% of eligible participants, adherence rate (number of home assignments completed; \> 50%) and retention rate of 70%. |
| Acceptability measure | From baseline to 3rd month (at the end of intervention) | Acceptability will be determined based on the number of sessions attended by participants and success criterion for intervention acceptability is mean attendance rate of at least 8 sessions. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The Maudsley Addiction Profile | Change in problem scores from Baseline to 3rd Month and 6th month | The Maudsley Addiction Profile is a brief, questionnaire that measures problems in four domains: substance use, health risk behaviour, physical and psychological health, and personal/social functions. |
| The Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale | Change in scores from baseline to 3rd Month and 6th month | The Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale is a 7 items measure that will be used to measure mental wellbeing. It consists of 7 statements on a 5 point Likert scale. The minimum scale score is 7 and the maximum is 35. The high score indicates high mental wellbeing. |
| EuroQol-5 | Change in scores from baseline to 3rd Month and 6th month | Quality of life will be measured using EuroQoL (EQ-5D) scale. This is a standardized instrument to measure health status and associated population utility weights. It measures five dimensions of health (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/ discomfort and anxiety/ depression) at different levels that include no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and unable to do/extreme. |
| Client service receipt inventory | Changes from baseline to 3rd Month and 6th month | CSRI will be used to estimate the health and social services received. |
