Treatment Effectiveness TestsProfessional Online Testing Solutions, Inc (www.online-testing.com) offers four (4) treatment effectiveness or outcome tests that help answer the question “was treatment effective?” 1. Pre-Post Inventory (www.pre-post-inventory.com) examines adult patient treatment effectiveness. Did the client (patient, offender) get better, stay the same, or get worse? 2. DVI Pre-Post (www.dvi-pre-post.com) evaluates domestic violence offender’s treatment progress. Was treatment effective? Did the client positively change? 3. Probation Referral Outcome (PRO) (www.probation-referral-outcome.com). Probation officers refer probationers for counseling and treatment. This test helps probation officers assess treatment outcome or change. PRO can be administered by probation officers, evaluators and mental health professionals. 4. Juvenile Pre-Post (www.juvenile-pre-post.com) assesses troubled youth treatment effectiveness or change. This test helps referral sources (courts, probation officers, and mental health professionals) assess the effects of intervention programs, counseling and treatment. Did the youth positively change? Shared Outcome Test FeaturesPretest (1st Test) → Intervention or Treatment → Posttest (2nd Test)
↑Comparison Report↑
Two separate reports are generated: the pretest (before treatment) report and the posttest (after treatment) Comparison Report. The referral source (e.g., probation officer, mental health professional or intake treatment staff) administer the pretest. Then upon counseling or treatment completion the referral source or the treatment staff could administer the posttest or second test. Upon posttest the computer compares pretest and posttest scores and generates the Comparison Report. Each of the four treatment effectiveness or treatment outcome tests will now be described. These descriptions include clarifying each tests scales (measures), utilization procedures and restatement of informative websites. Pre-Post Inventory
Perhaps the best single source of information on the Pre-Post Inventory is the www.pre-post-inventory.com website. It presents descriptive information, cost, an example report and research. And the Pre-Post Inventory can be purchased at www.online-testing.com. The Pre-Post Inventory consists of 161 items and takes on average 30 minutes to complete. It is administered twice: before treatment (pretest) and after treatment (posttest). The pretest serves as a baseline for posttest comparison. Upon posttest data (answers) input a Comparison Report is scored, interpreted and printed on-site within 2 ½ minutes. Pre-Post Inventory users include people that are interested in a client’s (patient) post counseling or treatment status. These people include, but aren’t limited to referral sources, courts, mental health professionals, assessors, treatment staff, victims (discussion with staff), family members (discussion with staff), etc. The Pre-Post Inventory gives interested parties a way to objectively assess treatment effectiveness, i.e., change. DVI Pre-Post
The recommended source of DVI Pre-Post information is the www.dvi-pre-post.com website. It describes the DVI Pre-Post, discusses its unique features, presents an example report, clarifies cost and offers research for review. The DVI Pre-Post can be purchased at www.online-testing.com. The DVI Pre-Post consists of 147 items and takes 25 to 30 minutes to complete. It is written at a high 5th to low 6th grade reading level. The DVI Pre-Post is administered twice: before counseling or treatment (pretest) and after treatment completion. Upon posttest completion, a Comparison Report is printed. Upon posttest data (answers) input a Comparison Report is scored, interpreted and printed on-site within 2 ½ minutes. In the last decade research has shown that we should not assume domestic violence offenders have been rehabilitated or positively changed simply because they completed their court ordered, probation mandated or mental health professional referred treatment. Some domestic violence perpetrators do not benefit from treatment. Probation Referral Outcome (PRO)
The best single source of Probation Referral Outcome (PRO) information is the www.probation-referral-outcome.com website. This website describes the PRO, discusses its unique features, sets forth cost, presents an example report and submits research for review. The PRO is evidence based and can be purchased and administered from the www.online-testing.com website. The Probation Referral Outcome (PRO) can be administered by the probation officer before the probationer attends their mandated counseling or treatment. This would be the pretest. And then upon treatment completion the probation officer could administer the PRO again (posttest) and review the Comparison Report. In summary, PRO is administered twice: before treatment (pretest) and again after treatment (posttest). The pretest is the baseline for posttest comparison. The Comparison Report is computer generated. Improving quality of patient care via treatment accountability is standard policy and practice in medical centers, hospitals and clinics. We believe similar professional standards should apply to counseling and treatment. Juvenile Pre-PostThe Juvenile Pre-Post can be administered by referral sources (court, juvenile probation officers, treatment staff, mental health professionals and others). And upon treatment completion most, if not all referral sources, parents and victims ask the same question “Was treatment effective?” The Juvenile Pre-Post helps answer that question.
The best single source of Juvenile Pre-Post information is the www.juvenile-pre-post.com website. And the Juvenile Pre-Post can be purchased at www.online-testing.com. If you want to know if the juvenile you referred for counseling or treatment positively benefited or changed from the experience, we suggest you consider the Juvenile Pre-Post. The Juvenile Pre-Post is available online 24/7 at our internet testing site www.online-testing.com. Online (Internet) Testing: www.online-testing.comBehavior Data Systems, Ltd. P.O.
