Clinically significant improvements in function Kathleen M Carrroll PhD, Yale University Supported by • NIDA DA039136NIDA P50 DA009241 • NIDA U10 DA015831 • NIDA DA041661 MTP Research Group
Clinically significant outcomes • ‘Safe’ levels of use • Short versus long term consequences • Defining ‘success’, responder • Feel and function • Cannabis dependence symptoms • Cannabis-related problems • Craving and withdrawal symptoms, sleep quality • ASI days of problems (floor effects for composites?) • Quality of life (Brezing et al, 2018)
MTP (JCCP, 2004): N=450 outpatient cannabis dependent individuals, 3 sites
Abstinent versus improved (no DSM dependence symptoms) versus not improved, past 90 days
Young probation referred marijuana users, N=136 • Average age 21 (range 18-25) • 90% male • 60% African American, 13% Latin American • 50% did not complete high school • 51% unemployed • Average 5 previous arrests • Average total months incarceration=9
Retention: Percent completing treatment Carroll et al, JCCP, 2006
“CM response” outcome: Completing treatment and submission of 1 or more marijuana free urine specimens Carroll et al, JCCP, 2006
Point-prevalence (marijuana-free urines specimens at 6 month follow-up) Carroll et al, JCCP, 2006
Cannabis tx datasets, N=264 (90% fup) • Potential outcomes • “Problem free functioning” • Change in DSM symptoms count • Reduction in cannabis-related consequences, problems • Quality of life
