Abstract

The feasibility of using monetary reinforcement to promote abstinence from substance use in adult individuals with schizophrenia was addressed. Cigarette smoking was studied as an exemplar of drug use in 11 individuals with schizophrenia by use of a within-subject experimental design. The study duration was 3 weeks, with weeks 1 and 3 serving as baseline conditions and week 2 serving as the intervention condition; in the latter, patients could earn money by abstaining from cigarette smoking. Abstinence was significantly greater during the intervention condition than during the baseline conditions. These results illustrate the potential sensitivity of drug use in this population to reinforcement contingencies, suggesting that contingency-management interventions are a feasible option for treating the substance abuse of individuals with schizophrenia.
