Abstract
This research project assesses performance on the Cambridge Gambling Task (CGT), a decision-making and risk-taking behavioral assessment, as a predictor of treatment retention and outcomes for polydrug users admitted to inpatient tertiary care. Poorer quality of decision-making in the CGT predicted treatment dropout and worse physical health and disability.
