Clients who receive alcohol use disorder (AUD) treatment experience variable outcomes. Measuring clinical progress during treatment using standardized measures (i.e., measurement-based care) can help indicate whether clinical improvements are occurring. Measures of mechanisms of behavioral change (MOBCs) may be particularly well-suited for measurement-based care; however, measuring MOBCs would be more feasible and informative if measures were briefer and if their ability to detect reliable change with individual clients was better articulated. Three abbreviated measures of hypothesized MOBCs (abstinence self-efficacy, coping strategies, anxiety) and a fourth full-length measure (depression) were administered weekly during a 12-week randomized trial of cognitive-behavioral therapy for women with AUD. Psychometric analyses estimated how reliably each measure distinguished within-person change from between-person differences and measurement error. Reliability coefficients were estimated for simulated briefer versions of each instrument (i.e., instruments with fewer items than the already-abbreviated instruments) and rates of reliable improvement and reliable worsening were estimated for each measure. All four measures had good reliability (.86-.90) for detecting within-person change. Many participants (41.4–62.5%) reliably improved on MOBCs from first to last treatment session. Reliable improvement on MOBCs was associated with reductions in percentage of drinking days at 3, 9, and 15-month follow-ups. Simulated briefer versions of each instrument retained good reliability for detecting change with only 3 (self-efficacy), 11 (coping strategies), 5 (anxiety), or 10 items (depression). Brief MOBC measures can detect reliable change for individuals in AUD treatment. Routinely measuring MOBCs may help with monitoring clinical progress.
