Cognitive functioning and treatment outcomes in a randomized controlled trial of internet-delivered drug and alcohol treatment.
CONCLUSIONS: The benefit of internet delivered treatment over standard care was unchanged across a range of cognitive functioning. Consistent with previous research, mild to moderate impairment in reasoning and cognitive flexibility were associated with lower retention across both treatment arms.
SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE: An internet-delivered cognitive behavioral intervention for substance use disorders, TES, is equally effective across a spectrum of cognitive functioning among diverse patients. (Am J Addict 2018;XX:1-7).
