Evaluating provider report of fidelity to contingency management in opioid treatment programs.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

With growing adoption of contingency management (CM) in addiction treatment programs, ensuring intervention fidelity over time is essential for improving patient outcomes. Nonetheless, ensuring an intervention is delivered as intended can be time- and resource-intensive for organizations. Finding ways to monitor fidelity without unduly burdening health systems is critical.

Methods

This study evaluated the feasibility of using provider report to monitor CM fidelity compared to traditional observer ratings using the CM Competence Scale, leveraging data from 28 opioid treatment programs that participated in a hybrid implementation-effectiveness trial. Providers (n = 86) reported CM fidelity across 3143 sessions with observer ratings conducted for 72 of these sessio
