Using Motivational Incentives with Success
Research is constantly contributing new knowledge to the fields of substance abuse prevention and treatment. However, it can be a long and slow process. One study showed that it takes an average of 17 years before practice can actually benefit from its incorporation (Lamb, Greenlick, and McCarty 1998).
We also know that, for many people, conventional training on a new clinical technique or skill is not enough support to the adoption or sustained use of the new practice when we return to the workplace. Often, we need a form on ongoing support to encourage implementation.
This website is designed to (1) serve as a resource for those who are implementing, who are thinking about implementing, or who have already implemented a project involving the use of Motivational Incentives and (2) provide a community in which people who use Motivational Incentives to improve substance abuse treatment can connect and share ideas.
