Further Evaluation of the Outcome Questionnaire–45.2

Abstract

Data from clinical and nonclinical samples (Ns = 2,096, 618) were used to evaluate and replicate the measurement structure of the Outcome Questionnaire–45.2. Different measurement models and invariance tests were evaluated and the best psychometric support was found for a shortened measure of two factors: overall maladjustment and substance use.

• Outcome Questionnaire
• factor mixture modeling
• assessment of treatment outcome
