Budget Impact Tool for Implementing Contingency Management for Co-occurring Alcohol Use Disorders and Serious Mental Illness.
Article in Psychiatric services (Washington, D.C.), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveContingency management (CM) is a behavioral intervention in which tangible incentives are provided to patients when they achieve a desired behavior (e.g., reducing or abstaining from alcohol use). The authors sought to describe the resource requirements and associated costs of various CM versions (usual, high magnitude, and shaping) tailored to a high-risk population with co-occurring serious mental illness and severe alcohol use disorder.
methodsA microcosting analysis was conducted to identify the resource requirements of the different CM versions. This approach included semistructured interviews with site investigators, who also staffed the intervention. The resource costing method-multiplying the number of units of each resource utilized by its respective unit cost-was used to value the resources from a provider's perspective. All cost estimates were calculated in 2021 U.S. dollars.
resultsThe cost of setting up a CM program was $6,038 per site. Assuming full capacity and 56% of urine samples meeting the requirement for receipt of the CM incentive, the average cost of 16 weeks of usual and shaping CM treatments was $1,119-$1,136 and of high-magnitude CM was $1,848-$1,865 per participant.
conclusionsA customizable tool was created to estimate the costs associated with various levels of treatment success and CM design features. After the trial, the tool will be updated and used to finalize per-participant cost for incorporation into a comprehensive economic evaluation. This costing tool will help a growing number of treatment providers who are interested in implementing CM with budgeting for and sustaining CM in their practices.
