I want you to write a 1200-word literature review for my research proposal. This study aims to investigate the efficacy of combining Contingency Management with female-specific individual Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-FS-CBT) in treating cannabis use disorder among young females aged 18-29.
The primary focus of this study is to evaluate whether the integration of I-FS-CBT with Contingency Management can enhance both short-term and long-term treatment outcomes compared to Contingency Management alone.
Requirements:
Please use APA-style citations and make sure to include the specific page number in the in-text citation, such as (Greaves et al., 2020, p. 129). Also, don’t forget to provide me with a complete reference list at the end.
Here is the overall structure that you can refer to:
I. Introduction
A. Opening Statement.
Briefly introduce the topic of cannabis use disorder in young females aged 18-29.
State the prevalence and the growing concern of cannabis use in this demographic.
II. Prevalence of Cannabis Use Disorder
A. Statistics and Trends.
Discuss the current statistics on cannabis use among young females. Highlight trends and any recent increases in cannabis use in this population.
B. Demographic Specificity.
Explain why this age group and gender are particularly important to study.
III. Significance of the Issue
A. Impact on Mental Health.
Discuss the psychological consequences of cannabis use disorder.
Cite studies showing the association between cannabis use and mental health issues such as anxiety and depression.
B. Impact on Social Functioning.
Elaborate on how cannabis use affects social aspects like academic performance, work productivity, and relationships.
Mention the broader societal costs, including healthcare and economic impacts.
IV. Current Treatment Approaches
A. Overview of Contingency Management (CM).
Describe CM and its application in substance use disorder treatment.
Mention the short-term effectiveness of CM.
B. Limitations of CM.
Discuss the challenges and limitations of CM, particularly its weak long-term effects.
V. Innovative Treatment Approaches
A. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
Explain the basics of CBT and its effectiveness in treating substance use disorders.
B. Female-Specific Individual CBT (I-FS-CBT).
Discuss how CBT can be tailored to address gender-specific issues.
Highlight the unique needs of young females that I-FS-CBT addresses, such as body image, relationships, and societal pressures.
VI. Combining CM with I-FS-CBT
A. Theoretical Integration.
Explain the rationale for combining CM with I-FS-CBT.
Discuss how the integration aims to enhance both short-term and long-term outcomes.
B. Evidence from Literature.
Cite studies that have combined behavioral therapies and discuss their outcomes.
Highlight any gaps in the literature that your study aims to fill.
VII. Importance of Female-Specific Interventions
A. Addressing Unique Challenges.
Discuss why female-specific interventions are necessary.
Mention any existing research on female-specific substance use treatment.
B. Expected Benefits.
Outline the potential benefits of integrating I-FS-CBT with CM for young females with cannabis use disorder.
VIII. Conclusion and Study Proposal
A. Try to package it as a summary that could essentially be used as a short and concise description of why you want to study your chosen topic.
B. Then, follow this statement by stating what the study proposes to do, this time with just a little more detail as opposed to the general purpose of the study you stated at the beginning.
C. Highlight the significance of your proposed research and its potential impact on the field.
