Study Arms (2)
Unidimensional Measurement-Based Care
EXPERIMENTALYouth and caregivers will complete a symptom rating scale every session. Clinicians will receive feedback reports summarizing these data, including alerts indicating if the youth is on track for positive treatment outcomes. These feedback reports will be used to support clinical decision-making.
Multidimensional Measurement-Based Care
EXPERIMENTALYouth and caregivers will complete battery of questionnaires covering multiple process and outcome domains every session. Clinicians will receive feedback reports summarizing these data, including alerts indicating if the youth is on track for positive treatment outcomes. These feedback reports will be used to support clinical decision-making.
