Protocol for a cluster randomised crossover pilot trial of Goal Management Training⁺ (GMT⁺) for methamphetamine use disorder.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Methamphetamine use disorder (MUD) is associated with executive dysfunctions, which are linked with poorer treatment outcomes. However, current treatments for MUD do not directly address cognition. We recently modified Goal Management Training (now Goal Management Training⁺; GMT⁺), a group-based intervention originally designed to improve executive functions after brain injury, to enhance suitability for MUD. Here, we describe the rationale and design of a trial which aims to determine the acceptability and feasibility of GMT⁺ during residential rehabilitation for MUD, and its impact on executive functions and clinical outcomes.

Methods

We used a cluster randomised crossover design: participants are randomised at the cluster level
