This paper presents a clinician self-report measure developed to record the specific components of treatment used with adolescents attending a Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS). Using action research methodology, 18 clinicians attended up to five facilitated discussion groups during 2006 to discuss the planned implementation of a clinical trial. The clinicians helped adapt a checklist for recording treatment strategies applied in CAMHS with adolescents. The sessions were audio-taped and transcribed for thematic analysis. The final treatment recording checklist is presented. The clinicians reported the instrument was helpful for recording the content of their interventions and understanding their colleagues practice.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
