Cannabis Dependence Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) to Asses the Efficacy of Community Reinforcement Approach (CRA) in the Treatment of Cannabis Users
Substance abuse is not a new phenomenon in Pakistan. Its prevalence is increasing day by day due to multi-factorial reasons including psychological, cultural, biological, environmental, social and personal factors. Recent statistics shows an alarming increase in the use of substance. The last survey conducted indicates there are 3.6 million substance users in Pakistan and 3.6 percent among them are cannabis users. Furthermore, cannabis is found to be the most prevalent abused drug with adverse impact on the mental health among university students in Pakistan. However, there is a dearth of literature which could indicate a well-established treatment policy with proven efficacy model available in Pakistan. This study aims to investigate the efficacy of Community Reinforcement Approach (CRA) as evidence based remedy for Cannabis Users. The study is designed in a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) consisting of groups: Active Treatment (AT; with nine sessions of CRA intervention) and Treatment as Usual (TAU; routine treatment). After screening and baseline, participants will be assigned to the either Active Treatment group or Treatment As Usual group. Participants in both groups will be assessed on completion of third month after randomization (Outcome assessment), six months after randomization (first follow-up), and finally ninth months after randomization (second follow up). The primary outcome measure will be the frequency of usage, abstinence period and quantity of cannabis by using Timeline Follow Back Interview. The duration of the study is two and half years
