Research summary
AI-generated

Carla J. Rash's research focuses on treating substance use disorders (drug and alcohol addiction), with a particular emphasis on contingency management, a behavioral treatment approach that uses incentives (like small prizes or vouchers) to reward positive behaviors such as drug-free urine tests. Her recent work also explores how to implement these treatments in real-world settings, including rural recovery housing and programs promoting HIV prevention medication (PrEP) among people who inject drugs. This research is relevant to students interested in addiction treatment, behavioral therapy design, and translating clinical research into practical health service programs.
