Validity of Treatment TargetProgress Ratings as Indicators of
Youth Improvement
Brad Nakamura & Charles MuellerUniversity of Hawaii at Manoa
Introduction• Practitioners are increasingly required to demonstrate and
document intervention outcomes• Individualized measurement strategies
– Target complaints (TC; Battle et al., 1966)– Goal attainment scaling (GAS; Kiresuk et al., 1994)
• Monthly Treatment & Progress Summary Form(MTPS; Child and Adolescent Mental Health Division;2003)– Service format– Service setting– Treatment targets– Clinical progress ratings– Intervention practice elements– Provider outcomes

Introduction
• Purpose of the present study– Examine and compare the degree of change
over the course of treatment as assessed bytwo measures• Monthly Treatment and Progress Summary form
(MTPS; Child and Adolescent Mental HealthDivision, 2003)
• Child and Adolescent Functional AssessmentScale (CAFAS; Hodges, 1998)
Introduction
Hypotheses1. There should be no meaningful relationship
(i.e., lack of a significant correlation)between MTPS and CAFAS scores at intakeinto the CAMHD system
2. There should be a significant inverserelationship between MTPS and CAFASscores at six-month follow-up (i.e., afterreceiving six months of services)

MethodParticipants (N = 74)• Age
– M = 13.82– SD = 2.99– Range = 4.40 to 18.19
• Gender– 42 males (56.8%)– 32 females (43.2%)
• Principal diagnoses– Mood/anxiety (37.8%)– Disruptive behavior (24.3%)– Attentional (23.0%)
Method
Measures• Child and Adolescent Functional
Assessment Scale (CAFAS; Hodges,1998)
• Monthly Treatment and ProgressSummary (MTPS; Child and AdolescentMental Health Division; 2003)– Treatment targets– Clinical progress ratings
Method
Procedure• Participants were selected on the basis of the
availability of both CAFAS and MTPS reports attwo separate times
1. Intake into our system2. At six-month follow-up

MethodProcedure• CAFAS scores
– Hodges’ (1998) eight-scale scoring procedure• MTPS scores
– Mean progress rating scores were derived byaveraging progress rating scores for all stabletargets

Partial correlation for 6-month follow-up CAFASand MTPS scores, holdingconstant CAFAS and MTPSintake scores
[-.34**]
DiscussionLimitations• MTPS/CAFAS analyses limited to six-month relationship• Small sample• Further study is needed for examining factors that
influence data completionNext Steps• Examine the relationship between MTPS scores and
scores from other standardized measures of symptoms(e.g., Child Behavior Checklist; Achenbach & Rescorla,2001)
• Examine treatment target- or diagnoses-specificrelationships
Conclusion• Nomothetically calculated change scores for
youths’ improvements on idiographic treatmenttargets (i.e., MTPS scores) may serve as validmeasures of client change
• The magnitude of these relationships (r = -.34)suggests some level of specificity for both theCAFAS and MTPS measures
• Multi-level systems utility– Reasoning at individual case-load level– Practitioner accountability– System-wide trends
Thank You!
