Monitoring and evaluating the success of your interventions
As discussed in Chapter 7, monitoring and evaluating the success of your interventions/treatment is important. How do you know that what you are doing is working? Evaluation methods are used in collaboration with the client to measure the outcomes of the treatments provided. While the text reviews both qualitative and quantitative measures, you will be requested to identify a quantitative evaluation tool that measures the disorder you used for your Clinical Intervention Paper. I have attached multiple examples of commonly used evaluation tools.
NOTE: YOU CANNOT USE ANY OF THESE EXAMPLES FOR YOUR EVALUATION TOOL.

Hints: It can take time to identify the proper tool. Do not simply use the first one you find. In your search, use the name of your disorder and words such as scale, questionnaire, survey, inventory, etc. You might also include the population (adult, adolescent, etc.) in your search.
1) Identify (with detail) and cite an evaluation tool. What is the name of the tool? How many questions/items does it have? How do participants answer/use the tool? Cite in APA format w/ reference. (minimum of 1-2 paragraphs) – 10 points
2) What is the purpose of the tool, and how is it helpful/important to your client? What does it measure, or how is it measurable? How do you know improvements are being made? What is a bad/good score? Support/Cite your response (minimum of 2-3 paragraphs) – 10 points
3) How often would you administer this tool, and why? Support/Cite your response (minimum 1-2 paragraphs) – 5 points
4) How will you use your results to direct treatment with your client? How can you use this information regarding the termination of services? (minimum 1-2 paragraphs) – 3 points
5) Review another classmate’s evaluation tool and provide feedback. Does the tool seem to fit the diagnosis? Is the information they provided clear? How well is the tool being used to direct treatment? – 2 points
