PRE/POST INVENTORY
The Pre-Post Inventory is an objective and standardized test designed for test (intake) - retest (treatment completion) comparison.
In other words, the Pre-Post Inventory is designed for pre-treatment and post-treatment comparison. It is an “outcome” test that
addresses client change.
The same test is administered twice and the intake test administration is compared to the posttest (or treatment completion) test administration. Client history is minimized so that the test reflects the here and now. It is the patient’s opinion with all its
biases that is most relevant for initiation and maintenance (continuation ) of treatment.
The Pre-Post Inventory contains 148 items and can be completed in 25 minutes. It is a computer scored self-report test that is
administered and scored on-site. Computer generated reports are available within 2½ minutes.
The Pre-Post Inventory has 7 scales (measures):
- Truthfulness Scale
- Alcohol Scale
- Drugs Scale
- Distress Scale
- Resistance Scale
- Self-Esteem Scale
- Stress Coping Abilities Scale
|
The Pre-Post Inventory evaluates the client’s status in the here-and-now. History is minimized so client scores can increase, stay the same or decrease. Pre-Post Inventory scores reflect where the client is at the time they are evaluated.
The Pre-Post Inventory has empirically demonstrated reliability, validity and accuracy. Much of the research is reported in its “Inventory of Scientific Findings.” The client’s pretest (1st test or intake) is compared to the posttest (second test or treatment completion) and a comparison report is computer generated.
