Centering peers in design and training for a peer-delivered contingency management program for self-identified harm reduction and treatment goals
PEER-CM (Peers Expanding Engagement in Stimulant Harm Reduction with Contingency Management) is among the first trials to use peer-delivered CM for stimulant use, incentivizing peer engagement and self-identified goals for harm reduction and treatment engagement. A CBPR approach strengthened the study design by incorporating peer guidance. Peers in this large, multisite sample demonstrated adequate CM delivery skills with acceptable fidelity following training. Trial Registration This study is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05700994). Registered 26 January, 2023.
