Abstract
Abstract This systematic review evaluated the efficacy of applying Contingency Management (CM) to Alcohol Use Disorder. We followed the PRISMA recommendation and consulted the following databases: Cochrane Library, MEDLINE Complete, PsycINFO and Pubmed. A total of eight randomized controlled trials were included in this review, all of them with good methodological quality. In seven of these, CM was more efficacious in promoting continuous abstinence. Both trials that evaluated treatment retention found statistically significant results favorable to CM. On two of the three trials presenting follow-up results, CM was more efficacious in promoting abstinence. The large-scale application of CM can promote substantial public health improvements and should be encouraged.
