这项调查调查了心理学家在临床实践中使用结果测量的情况。在受访者中，37% 表示他们在实践中使用了某种形式的结果评估。使用了多种由客户或临床医生评价的措施。在实践中评估结果的临床医生更有可能更年轻，有认知行为取向，每周进行更多小时的治疗，为儿童和青少年提供服务，并在机构环境中工作。不使用结果测量的临床医生认可其使用的实际（例如成本、时间）和哲学（例如相关性）障碍。结果测量的使用者和非使用者都对类似类型的信息感兴趣，包括客户自进入治疗以来的进展、当前的优势和劣势，以及确定是否需要改变治疗。讨论了对执业临床医生的影响。
This survey investigated psychologists' use of outcome measures in clinical practice. Of the respondents, 37% indicated that they used some form of outcome assessment in practice. A wide variety of measures were used that were rated by the client or clinician. Clinicians who assess outcome in practice are more likely to be younger, have a cognitive-behavioral orientation, conduct more hours of therapy per week, provide services for children and adolescents, and work in institutional settings. Clinicians who do not use outcome measures endorse practical (e.g., cost, time) and philosophical (e.g., relevance) barriers to their use. Both users and nonusers of outcome measures were interested in similar types of information, including client progress since entering treatment, current strengths and weaknesses, and determining if there is a need to alter treatment. Implications for practicing clinicians are discussed.
