  • Summary

    Research on addictive behavior change has highlighted the importance of assessing and monitoring contextual features surrounding substance use. This chapter summarizes contextual, substance-involved, and substance-free measurement procedures that are used in human research and practice. These measures are guided by behavioral economic theory and comprise techniques to assess the interaction of the environment and the person, including aspects of enjoyment and contextual situations associated with drug-taking, rating scale measures of drug and drug-free rewards, and relative reinforcement value measures. The approaches summarized demonstrate the importance of focusing on substance use contexts, the behavioral economic factors that support continued substance use, and the availability of substance-free reinforcement. These factors should be an integral feature of substance-related assessment and interventions to reduce harmful substance use and promote recovery from alcohol and other substance use disorders.
