Clinical Utility of Instrument
The RAATE-QI and RAATE-CE provide objective documentation to assist in making appropriate treatment placement decisions; they strengthen individualized care and facilitate more individualized treatment planning; they measure treatment progress; and they assess the need for continuing care and discharge readiness.
Research Applicability
The RAATE-QI could provide current status measures for baseline determinations, estimates of interim improvement, discharge readiness, and post-treatment outcome measures in experimental and naturalistic studies. RAATE instruments can provide measures of pre-treatment readiness and motivation.
