To complement the evidence-based practice paradigm, authors argued for a core outcome measure to provide practice-based evidence psychological therapies. Utility requires instruments that are acceptable scientifically, as well service users, and coordinated implementation of at national level. The development Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation-Outcome Measure (CORE-OM) is summarized. Data presented across 39 secondary-care services (n = 2,710) within an intensively evaluated single...
Higher education students’ mental health has been a growing concern in recent years even before the COVID-19 pandemic.

Despite its high prevalence and implications for health care resources, anxiety is still a relatively neglected area of research. This paper describes the development Health Anxiety Questionnaire (HAQ), measure based on cognitive–behavioural analysis anxiety. The was developed to identify individuals with levels concern about their health. Psychiatric medical samples were used in reported studies. HAQ found have good internal consistency (coefficient alpha split‐half reliability) short‐term...
Sudden gains--large, enduring reductions in symptom intensity from one session to the next--were identified by T. Z. Tang and R. J. DeRubeis (1999b) on basis of data 2 manualized clinical trials cognitive therapy for depression. The authors found similar sudden gains among clients with a variety disorders treated approaches routine clinic settings. Clients (N = 135 who met inclusion criteria) completed short forms Clinical Outcomes Routine Evaluation (CORE-SF) preceding 7 74 individual...
Patient and public involvement in health research is increasingly well established internationally, but the impacts of on process are hard to evaluate. We describe a qualitative data analysis mental project with high level service user carer involvement, reflect critically how we produced our findings. Team members not from backgrounds sometimes challenged academic conventions, leading complex findings that would otherwise have been missing. An essential component coproduced knowledge...
Aims. A range of peer worker roles are being introduced into mental health services internationally. There is some evidence that attests to the benefits workers for people they support but formal trial in inconclusive, part because change model underpinning support-based interventions underdeveloped. Complex intervention evaluation guidance suggests understandings how an associated with outcomes should be modelled, theoretically and empirically, before can robustly evaluated. This paper aims...

Design Retrospective cohort data analysis. Method Clinical records for 1,850 patients who screened positive depression and/or an anxiety disorder were analysed. Reliable clinically significant improvement ( RCSI ) on (Patient Health Questionnaire‐9: PHQ ‐9) or...

Although improvement of clients' state is a central concern for psychotherapy, relatively little known about how change in outcome variables unfolds during psychotherapy. Client progress may follow highly variable temporal courses, and this variation treatment courses have important clinical implications. By analyzing using growth mixture modeling up to the 6th session sample 192 outpatients treated under routine clinic conditions, authors identified 5 client groups based on similar short...
This study extended client-focused research by using the nearest neighbor (NN) approach, a client-specific sampling and prediction strategy derived from on alpine avalanches. Psychotherapy clients (N=203) seen in routine practice settings United Kingdom completed battery of intake measures then symptom intensity ratings before each session. Forecasts client's rate change session-by-session variability were computed basis that NNs (n=10-50 different comparisons). Alternative forecasts used...
High numbers of patients discharged from psychiatric hospital care are readmitted within a year. Peer support for discharge has been suggested as an approach to reducing readmission post-discharge. Implementation called in policy, however, evidence effectiveness large rigorous trials is missing. We aimed establish whether peer reduces readmissions the year post-discharge.We report parallel, two-group, individually randomised, controlled superiority trial, with trial personnel masked...

The Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation - Outcome Measure (CORE-OM) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) are routinely used to assess emotional problems. It would be helpful able compare scores when only one of measures is available. We investigated relationship between produced translation tables.Level agreement CORE-OM BDI-I was assessed for 2,234 clients who had completed both at referral routine secondary care. Tables predicting were constructed using several methods, including...
Randomized trials of the effects psychological therapies seek internal validity via homogeneous samples and standardized treatment protocols. In contrast, practice-based studies aim for clinical realism external heterogeneous clients treated under routine practice conditions. We compared indices in these two types studies.Using published transformation formulas, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) scores from five randomized depression (N = 477 clients) were transformed into Clinical Outcomes...
