A growing number of correctional facilities offer medication for OUD (MOUD), which is effective in reducing these risks. However, a recent evaluation found that <50% of those prescribed MOUD during incarceration continued MOUD within 30 days after release, demonstrating a need to improve post-release continuity of care. We describe available evidence on contingency management (CM), an intervention wherein patients receive incentives contingent on behavior change, to achieve this goal. A prior systematic review reported strong evidence in support of CM for increasing treatment adherence in MOUD programs, but the trials reviewed did not include incarcerated participants. Research on CM to increase treatment adherence among participants in the criminal justice system is limited with mixed findings. However, in comparison to the trials that supported CM's efficacy in the community, CM trials in the criminal justice system provided smaller rewards with greater delays in the delivery of rewards to patients, which likely contributed to null findings. Indeed, a prior meta-analysis demonstrates a dose-response relationship between the magnitude and immediacy of reward and CM effectiveness. Thus, CM involving larger and more immediately delivered rewards are likely necessary to improve MOUD adherence during the critical period following release from incarceration. Future research on the effectiveness and implementation of CM to improve MOUD retention after release from incarceration is warranted. 收起
