Dr. Michael McDonell is a Professor in the Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine and the Director of the Promoting Research Initiatives in Substance Use and Mental Health (PRISM) Collaborative at Washington State University. He is a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience developing, testing, and implementing strength-based interventions for people with addiction and mental illness in community settings. He has led multiple National Institutes of Health funded studies demonstrating that contingency management can be used to reduce alcohol and drug use in individuals living with co-occurring serious mental illness. He also led two studies demonstrating that culturally-adapted contingency management interventions are feasible and effective tools for addressing substance use disorders in American Indian and Alaska Native communities. He is currently involved in federal and state-wide efforts to disseminate contingency management, as well as similar efforts to Native communities who are implementing contingency management.
