“…This finding may be due in part to the fact that when assigning Global Improvement ratings, assessors were explicitly instructed to consult and take into account both concurrent and baseline Severity of Illness ratings. A commonly raised concern about the CGI is that when clinicians assign a rating of global change, their reliance on memory of baseline functioning might compromise the validity of the rating (Leon et al 1993). The strong relationship between Global Improvement ratings at mid-and posttreatment and calculated changes in Severity of Illness ratings supports the assumption that Global Improvement ratings reflect actual changes in functioning from baseline.…”

“…The CGI-S is rated on a scale of 1 (normal, not at all ill) to 7 (extremely ill), and the CGI-I is rated on a scale of 1 (very much improved) to 8 (very much worse). The CGI has good to strong psychometric properties (Dahlke et al 1992;Leon et al 1993) and has been used to measure outcome in adult TTM (Diefenbach et al 2006;Grant et al 2009;Ninan et al 2000). In the current sample, the CGI-S showed excellent test-retest reliability between the screening and baseline assessment periods (r s = 0.78).…”

Although photographic assessment has been found to be reliable in assessing hair loss in Trichotillomania, the validity of this method is unclear, particularly for gauging progress in treatment. The current study evaluated the psychometric properties of photographic assessment of change in Trichotillomania. Photographs showing hair loss of adults with Trichotillomania were taken before and after participating in a clinical trial for the condition. Undergraduate college students (N = 211) rated treatment response according to the photos, and additional archival data on hair pulling severity and psychosocial health were retrieved from the clinical trial. Photographic assessment of change was found to possess fair reliability (ICC = 0.53), acceptable criterion validity (r = 0.51), good concurrent validity (r = 0.30-0.36), and excellent incremental validity (ΔR 2 = 8.67, p < 0.01). In addition, photographic measures were significantly correlated with change in quality of life (r = 0.42), and thus could be considered an index of the social validity of Trichotillomania treatment. Gender of the photo rater and pulling topography affected the criterion validity of photographic assessment (partial η 2 = 0.05-0.11). Recommendations for improving photographic assessment and future directions for hair pulling research are discussed.

“…The Global Improvement subscale was administered at the end of treatment to assess the overall change in clinical status [with scores ranging from very much improved (1) to very much worse (7)]. The CGI scale is one of the most widely used treatment outcome measures, with good psychometric properties [e.g., Leon et al, 1993].…”

Our aim in this study was to compare panic-related catastrophic appraisals between women and men with panic disorder with agoraphobia (PDA). One hundred two outpatients with PDA (75 women and 27 men) participated. Two instruments for the assessment of catastrophic appraisals, Agoraphobic Cognitions Questionnaire and Panic Appraisal Inventory, were administered before and after cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) that also included pharmacotherapy in three-fourths of the patients. Female and male patients did not differ significantly in terms of their tendency to anticipate catastrophic consequences of panic, before or after CBT-based treatment. For both females and males, the tendency to make catastrophic appraisals decreased significantly with treatment. We conclude that among patients with PDA there are no gender differences in catastrophic appraisals of panic sensations and symptoms. The apparently higher risk of panic recurrence in women does not seem to be related to their panic-related catastrophic appraisals. These findings also support a notion that there is no gender difference in response to CBT-based treatment of PDA.
