The effectiveness of attentional bias modification for substance use disorder symptoms in adults: a systematic review

ConclusionsDespite a number of negative findings and the diversity of studies, multi-session ABM interventions, especially in the case of alcohol and when the Alcohol Attention Control Training Programme was used, appear to have positive effects on symptoms of addictive behaviour. However, more rigorous well-powered future research in clinical samples is needed before firm conclusions regarding the effectiveness of ABM interventions can be drawn.Systematic review registrationRegistration number PROSPERO:CRD42016046823
