成瘾医学和成瘾研究领域长期以来一直在寻找一种有效而全面的工具来评估患者在治疗和康复方面的进展。传统工具昂贵、耗时、复杂，并且基于临床医生或研究人员认为重要的主题。因此，他们通常不提供以患者为中心的信息，这是有意义的和相关的物质使用障碍患者的生活。为了提高我们从患者的角度了解患者治疗进展的能力，作者及其同事开发了一种以患者为导向的评估工具，该工具与现有工具相比具有相当大的优势：简洁，简单，易于管理，面向患者，成本（无）。由此产生的治疗效果评估（TEA）有助于患者和临床医生根据患者对先前研究建立的四个领域中重要内容的感觉，快速评估患者在治疗和恢复方面的进展。患者提供数字回答和代表性的详细信息，他们的物质使用，健康，生活方式和社区。不需要软件进行数据输入或评分，也不需要正式的培训来管理TEA。本文介绍了TEA的发展及其在临床实践和研究中应用的初始阶段。
The fields of addiction medicine and addiction research have long sought an efficient yet comprehensive instrument to assess patient progress in treatment and recovery. Traditional tools are expensive, time consuming, complex, and based on topics that clinicians or researchers think are important. Thus, they typically do not provide patient-centered information that is meaningful and relevant to the lives of patients with substance use disorders. To improve our ability to understand patients’ progress in treatment from their perspectives, the authors and colleagues developed a patient-oriented assessment instrument that has considerable advantages over existing instruments: brevity, simplicity, ease of administration, orientation to the patient, and cost (none). The resulting Treatment Effectiveness Assessment (TEA) elicits patient responses that help the patient and the clinician quickly gauge patient progress in treatment and in recovery, according to the patients’ sense of what is important within four domains established by prior research. Patients provide both numerical responses and representative details on their substance use, health, lifestyle, and community. No software is required for data entry or scoring, and no formal training is required to administer the TEA. This article describes the development of the TEA and the initial phases of its application in clinical practice and in research.
