Contingency management for alcohol use disorder reduces cannabis use among American Indian and Alaska Native adults.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Determine whether a culturally tailored contingency management (CM) intervention targeting alcohol abstinence resulted in secondary effects on cannabis use among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) adults.

Methods
