System Components

1) Hardware (i.e. the devices used to administer surveys, to process and store data, and produce reports).

2) Software that provides for questionnaire administration, data processing, data base management, report generation, and various other administrative functions.

3) Questionnaires:

• Intake: Provides individual informant data (adolescent, parent/caregiver, counselor) for treatment planning and monitoring progress
• Update: Provides information concurrently with treatment about the adolescent’s condition, progress, and satisfaction with treatment (adolescent, parent/caregiver, counselor)

4) Procedures for administering the patient questionnaires.

5) Reports that provide information for clinical decision support (individual adolescent, parent/caregiver, and clinician reports) and for outcomes assessment (severity-adjusted program level aggregate data).

6) Inconsistency Index that detects inauthentic/inconsistent responding.
