Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome measure of the study is patients' disfunctioning on the Outcome Questionnaire. Mores specifically, the progress that the patient makes during treatment. The results will be analysed using multilevel analysis, which has the advantage of being able to handle missing data really well. Therefore, data from all patients, including those that dropped out of treatment or dropped out of the study can be used in analysis. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| A secundary outcome measure for the patients is the percentage of patients that drop out of treatment. Secundary outcome measures for therapists are: * the correlation between therapists' outcome expectations and actual treatment outcome fro their patients * the extent to which therapists have used the feedback and its relation with the average treatment outcome per therapist. * the difference between therapists in effectivity (in rate of change) in treating patients. | — |
