Conditions studied: Substance Use

In brief

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of engagement strategies for increasing daily data collection adherence among substance-using youth between the ages of 14 and 24. The primary hypotheses of this study are that: (1) receiving a reinforcer after completing daily data collection activities will predict next-day completion of targeted data collection activities; and (2) receiving a notification prior to 6pm (when data collection activities open) will predict same-day completion of data collection activities.
