Addiction Treatment Outcome Monitoring Study

Addiction Treatment Outcome Monitoring Study

This research evaluates a tool designed for measurement-based care in addiction treatment. Patients in addiction treatment will be invited to complete weekly measures indicating treatment progress and goals. For half the patients, their addiction treatment clinician will be able to view their weekly progress and goals via a secure dashboard. The research will test the feasibility and acceptability of the measurement-based care tool and will evaluate its impact on within-session discussion topics and clinical outcome measures.
