监测药物滥用治疗的提供和进展需要使用经过验证的工具来衡量来访者的动机、社会心理和认知功能以及其他治疗过程动态。作为国家药物滥用研究所刑事司法药物滥用治疗研究项目的一部分，该项目旨在检查矫正人群治疗的客户绩效指标，本研究检查了刑事司法客户自我和治疗评估（CJ CEST）的心理测量特性。样本包括来自六个州的26个惩教治疗项目的3266名罪犯。总的来说，客户评估显示了在个人和项目层面以及在复试管理中评估的良好可靠性。此外，建构效度的证据是有利的。结论是CJ CEST是一种简短而全面的工具，可以有效和高效地测量患者的需求和摄入时的功能，也适合在治疗期间使用，以监测以矫正为基础的药物治疗计划的长期进展。
Monitoring drug-abuse-treatment delivery and progress requires the use of validated instruments to measure client motivation, psychosocial and cognitive functioning, and other treatment-process dynamics. As part of the National Institute on Drug Abuse Criminal Justice Drug Abuse Treatment Studies project for examining client-performance indicators for treatment of correctional populations, this study examined psychometric properties of the Criminal Justice Client Evaluation of Self and Treatment (CJ CEST). The sample included 3,266 offenders from 26 corrections-based treatment programs located in six states. Overall, the client assessment demonstrated good reliabilities evaluated at the individual and program levels and in test-retest administrations. In addition, evidence for construct validity was favorable. It is concluded that the CJ CEST is a brief yet comprehensive instrument that effectively and efficiently measures client needs and functioning at intake and also is appropriate for use during treatment to monitor progress over time in corrections-based drug-treatment programs.
