Approach With Caution: A Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial of Approach Bias Modification for People Undergoing Residential Treatment for Methamphetamine Use Disorder
Overview
This pilot randomized controlled trial evaluates the safety and acceptability of Approach Bias Modification for individuals in residential treatment for methamphetamine use disorder. The study reports that while some participants found the training acceptable, a notable proportion experienced adverse psychological reactions, prompting caution regarding its safety profile. Although abstinence rates appeared higher in the intervention group, the small sample size prevented statistically significant conclusions about efficacy.
