This national survey investigated the clinical practice of psychologists in Canada with particular reference to the usage of progress monitoring (PM) measures. Data from 1,668 registered psychologists were collected on demographic characteristics, years of experience, years since graduation, degree, professional activities, primary clientele, theoretical orientations as well as familiarity with PM measures, usage of PM measures, and usage of other methods to monitor client progress. Survey results indicated that more than 2 thirds of psychologists were unfamiliar with PM measures and only 12% of psychologists were using these measures. Profiles of psychologists based on awareness and usage of PM measures are presented. Implications for practicing clinicians are discussed.
