What is it about?

The current study suggests that instruments used in Routine Outcome Monitoring (ROM), specifically the BHM-20, may not be accurate in measuring client outcomes longitudinally. This is problematic because it means that client feedback data collected in session about their experience in therapy is not accurate. The current study offers a refined version of the BHM-20 called the BHM-17, which can be used longitudinally with improved accuracy.
