Racial/ethnic subgroup differences in outcomes and acceptability of an Internet-delivered intervention for substance use diso

Course overview

This course discusses internet-delivered treatment for substance use disorders. The authors measured racial/ethnic subgroup differences. Other measures include: sex, age, education, employment, insurance status, travel time/distance to program, internet use, primary substance of abuse, abstinence, retention, social functioning, coping, craving, and acceptability. The authors cited previous studies where race and ethnicity were factors in the outcome of contingency management (CM) and community reinforcement approach (CRA). They posit that technology can be used to administer treatment without bias, provided said technology is accessible in these subgroups. Useful tables of data are at the end of the article, after the footnotes.
