Pilot Grant Spotlight 4/4: ‪@devtomlinson.bsky.social‬ will establish a patient advisory board of people interested in quitting smoking and work with them to develop content for a contingency management-based intervention. Results will inform a future hybrid optimization trial. More: myumi.ch/xw9wb

Pilot Grant Spotlight 3/4: In preparation for a future hybrid SMART-MRT, @phdgrau.bsky.social will develop and refine a stepped-care intervention combining therapist-delivered and digital support, specifically tailored for patients with PTSD and co-occurring risky substance use (RSU). myumi.ch/mRXw1

Pilot Grant Spotlight 2/4: Shiyu Zhang's pilot project will address systematic nonadherence in ecological momentary assessments (EMAs), paving the way for more accurate and representative assessments that enhance the effectiveness of nicotine reduction interventions. More: myumi.ch/pVMJ1

Pilot Grant Spotlight 1/4: Led by @leb112358.bsky.social, this new pilot project aims to boost user engagement with mobile smoking cessation apps. Her team will develop personalized feedback visualizations designed with user input. Learn more: myumi.ch/79649

🚨 We just awarded four new pilot grants to early-career researchers through the d3center’s Pilot Grant Program! Backed by our NIDA P50, these projects apply our methods to urgent challenges in substance use. Starting tomorrow, we’ll spotlight one project per day. Stay tuned.

Only 1% of Veterans with stimulant use disorder received contingency management (CM). Factors like age, race, and housing status influenced CM receipt, indicating areas for improved access. 📘 Full study: doi.org/10.1016/j.jo...
