New Tool For Monitoring Effectiveness Of Teen Counseling
|
Vanderbilt University reports its Peabody College of Education and Human Development has developed a new tool that will enable mental health practicioners to better assess the affectiveness of their services on adolescent patients.
The Peabody Treatment Progress Battery, or PTPB, gauges "ten clinically relevant measures of key mental health outcomes and clinical processes" in youth aged 11-18 including the child's sense of hopefulness, his or her relationship with the therapist, expectations of treatment and satisfaction with services. The PTPB also measures levels of caregiver stress and the counselor's own perception of progress. The battery is available free of charge at http://peabody.vanderbilt.edu/ptpb.xml. It is written at a fourth grade reading level, is available in English and Spanish, and takes approximately five to eight minutes per week to complete.
