Table 2 Feasibility outcomes and secondary (incentive conflict task; ICT) outcomes; 1 due to technical problems only three participants completed ICT after baseline at 3 months and three at 12 months, thus only baseline measurements are presented for ICT

From: A feasibility trial of an intervention in alcohol dependence for structured preparation before detoxification versus usual care: the SPADe trial results

Secondary measurements
ICT measurements at baseline1: Number of presses (%) to obtain reward [mean (SD)]
    Overall (n=20)
In the presence of single stimuli A or B predicting reward ------- ------- 82.8 (32.8)
In the presence of combined stimuli AB predicting lack of reward ------- ------- 63.3 (37.9)
