subjects’ interest and understanding of their addiction.
The development of the pilot program was based on existing face-to-face approaches used to create the e-learning website; Preventative approaches against relapse were implemented through videos, self-monitoring, exercise and a diary function. After patients answered questions about their exercises and diary entries, the researchers presented them with personalized feedback that used motivational interviewing techniques. Access to e-SMARPP was made available on all devices including mobile phones, personal computers and tablets.
The researchers concluded that e-SMARPP was simple to use, tolerable to individuals with substance use disorders, and helpful for people who did not obtain behavioral therapy. After revision of the e-SMARPP, researchers also noted that additional large-scale examinations were necessary to gauge its capacity among users who have recently used drugs.
