TCU Client Evaluation of Self and Treatment Intake Version (TCU CEST-Intake) is a self-rating form completed by the client at the time of treatment intake. It includes short scales for treatment motivation (problem recognition, desire for help, treatment readiness), psychological functioning (i.e., self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and decision-making), and social functioning (i.e., childhood problems, hostility, risk-taking, and social consciousness). These scales provide a baseline for monitoring client performance and psychosocial changes during treatment, both at the client and the overall program levels. [15 minutes]

TCU Client Evaluation of Self and Treatment (TCU CEST) includes most of the same psychosocial scales completed at intake (i.e., in the CEST-Intake) plus scales to measure treatment engagement. Besides motivation, psychological, and social functioning, self-ratings also are obtained on treatment needs, services received, treatment satisfaction, counseling rapport, treatment participation, peer support, and (outside) social support–all representing indicators related to outcomes during and following treatment. Repeated assessments overtime provide a basis for monitoring client change and care planning. Aggregated client assessments provide a basis for evaluating program-level performance. [25 minutes]
