Great work by @PetukhovaRachel presenting data from our nearly-completed #NHMRC RCT teletrial for #methamphetamine Our team learnt lots about how to attract and retain people who use #methamphetamine, and how to improve clinical research in this area 👇🏽 #APSAD23 @TurningPointAU – at Melbourne, Victoria
#APSAD23 presentation on a program evaluation of the Ready2Change program for methamphetamine use. We received 5k EOIs for the trial, screened 424 people and randomised 204 people (many from regional areas, had never received treatment before and had high DUDIT scores)
