Drug purchase tasks provide rapid and efficient measurement of drug demand. Zero values (i.e., prices with zero consumption) present a quantitative challenge when using exponential demand models that exponentiated may resolve. We aimed to replicate advance the utility an model by demonstrating construct validity association real-world use) generalizability across commodities. Participants (N = 40 cocaine-using adults) completed Cocaine, Alcohol, Cigarette Purchase Tasks evaluating...
Emphasis on the negative consequences of drug use is a critical component cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) skills to regulate craving. Despite relative success CBT for treating substance disorders, effective human laboratory models are lacking. Recent reports have indicated that regulation craving (ROC) task provides valid model nicotine, alcohol, and methamphetamine use. The present study examined ROC in an online sample regular cocaine users (n = 44) recruited from Amazon.com's...
The results of preclinical laboratory experiments and clinical trials indicate that agonist replacements such as d-amphetamine may be a viable option for managing cocaine dependence. This study determined the effects maintenance on choice behavior in human participants. We predicted would reduce choice. Nine cocaine-dependent participants completed study. Two conditions were counterbalanced order (0 40 mg/d). After 3 to 5 days placebo or maintenance, experimental sessions. During these...
Attentional bias has been demonstrated to a variety of substances. Evidence suggests that fixation time is more direct measure attentional than response time.

In the United States, complete abstinence persists as standard for demonstrating recovery success from substance use disorders (SUDs), apart alcohol disorder (AUD). Although FDA has recently indicated openness non-abstinence outcomes treatment targets, traditional benchmark of new medications to treat SUDs remains a hurdle and overshadows other non-abstinent desired by people with (e.g., improved sleep, employment, family reunification). This study sought expand definition include pathways...
